   To make measurements, I first found the optimum size of the largest tube, and then inserted a picture of a yardstick into diagram you will see in the first video. By first resizing the yardstick to match the measurements of the largest tube, and then, moving the yardstick around, I was able to measure each part of the rocket. To make the tapered skirting in the transitional portions where the diameter of the rocket changes, I used a string, a tack and a pencil to make the cone shaped pieces. Drawing the two red lines to where they meet, gave me the length of the string to use to draw the top and bottom of the piece that would make the exact arc of the taper. (yellow area)
