It looks like the piece is drawn out of a heated plastic tub.
Faster and no ridges to sand off!

  1. Which fin guide is that in part 3 of the Ares build?

    1. Hi Daniel,
      That's the Odd'l Rockets FinTool fin alignment tool. It's not quite ready for sale. I have to finish up the re-design of the Break-Away kit first!

    2. From that picture it looks like it'll only work for fins that extend past the end of the BT. Is that correct, or is there a way to make it work for others?

    3. Hi Neil,
      The Fintools work for both, fins above and extending below the end of the tube. There are pieces shaped like tuning forks that fit in the slots and raise "alignment" area up under the trailing edges.
      The FinTool includes two units, one for three fin models and another for four fin models.
