This will be more of a hybrid cardstock model a basic 4FNC. A cardstock wrapped paper towel roll. Artwork is scanned and redrawn portions from a popular burrito wrap plastic bag, from which the parachute will be made. I thought I would make a rocket basically to match the colors and logo of the parachute. First iteration is a simple drawing, mostly to scale to fit a 44 mm diameter and 11" long paper towel roll. I might use balsa for the fins and cover them with paper, if I have enough of the thinner balsa stock on hand. I plan to make an 18mm motor mount and won't do TTW fins or anything fancy like that for this recycle bin rocket. Work in progress. The fins and cone shape are loosely based on the bell logo from the plastic zip bag.
