Greetings people, I'm back once again, I know it might have been a while since I've made my last blog but this blog was supposed to have a video of one of the rocket launches from the past but I was unable to do so. I tried to ask my Dad for help but he was unavailable so I cancelled it and decided to make a video of me constructing the components of the rocket itself.
The some of the videos are a bit long so I've done them any way and when I edit this blog, I'll include the videos then add some information about them, but for now I'll explain what I've done. I've cut out and sanded the cardboard fins for the rocket and taped the edges so air can't rush through the gaps and could rip the fins off the rocket. What I'll then be doing is drawing a design of the motor mount of the rocket on my home computer, draw a template on a piece of paper and then draw an accurate cut out drawing on the cardboard, ready to be removed but first I need to create the tube wrapped over the motor to case it up, then create the rings for the motor mount as soon as possible then make an old metal skewer to create the component to hold the motor in.
There'll be a chance I'll spray paint the body of the rocket before I attach the fins and spray paint the name of what the rocket is going to be called. For now I'll call the rocket Adventure 1, there will be a chance I'll change the name if it doesn't work out. If I can't figure out a name for the rocket, then put some comments below to come up with some names, once I have spray painted it, then I'll might recreate the name of the rocket but for now I'm naming it Adventure 1. Just remember to put some comments below and come up with some names that can be useful.
(This space will be used for the videos that are going to be added).
Hi Daniel, why using spray paint? Is it quicker than a paintbrush?
ReplyDeleteBecause Jungko, with just normal painting with a paint brush, the paint can't form a good even coat and it might take a while to paint it all up, but with spray painting, you get a much more even coat than normal painting. Painting with a normal paint brush is okay but with spray painting, you'll need protective gear to protect your eyes and preventing you from breathing paint in.
DeleteHey Daniel what colour are you going to spray paint your rocket? but it sounds like a awesome thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of spray painting the rocket Red on the body, black on the fins and white on the nosecone but first I'll need to coat it with a Primer which is colored white to make the paint spray on and attach more evenly.
DeleteFor that case Reece, it's only a period of time for me to get that rocket spray painted and already to go.
