Most likely I’ll leave it bare wood or rub it with a 50/50 beeswax/mineral oil mix i made

I’m going to wrap a piece of sandpaper around the rocket body, then sand the inside face of the fin to match the curve, then just glue them once I’ve got a good match.
It’ll be almost a square inch of contact, so I think it ought to be plenty strong, anything strong enough to break it would break any method of attachment
Now that I’m looking at it, I kinda want to taper the nose and tail a little more, it’s just a touch chunkier than i like p
He’s 2, but I’m going to significantly round the tip, it’s just pointy for ease of initial shaping
That…is a very logical idea
Anyway, this what I’m doing
The plan right now is to make them chunky af
That’s actually a great point that I never considered teaching him
(My hobby is starting and not finishing projects, so I’ll do my best, but no promises)

I’m torn, because I’m planning on sizing the fins and orienting the grain in such a way so he HOPEFULLY won’t be able to break them

Kerbal Space Program, my one true love.
I’ve got a few games with 100-300 hours of playtime, but KSP is EASILY in the thousands, I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m over 10,000.
And before you ask, no, I’m not an expert, most of my rockets are named either “1.4.2.A.1(b)[rev. 5.0]” or “bendy fuckstick 9000 (mun)”
So you have it forcibly memorized too? Nice nice
Lol yes we’ve got a toddler and infant, dusty just claims all their stuff
Eh, kinda
