Very nice work - love the chunky shape! How did you construct the tail cone?I made a 1/3ish scale MGM-140 using 7.5" LOC tubing and nosecone. Couldn't come close to the real deals flame to body ratio, lol.

Great stuff! Thanks for responding. I didn't join TRF until 2015, so never saw this. Will do a search...I did a build thread back in January of 2010 when that rocket was built. the tailcone was fabricated using a simple technique and probably worth posting again for options for the new scratch builders out there. There were no 3D hobby printers back then, lol.
The parts:
