Okay, this is "art grenade prototype 0.2", aka my attempt to "sculpt" something.

I plugged the end with a piece of scrap foam, capped that with a flared water-bottle cap, and then just taped the bejeezus out of it.

I did a very sloppy and overconservative job of removing the lengthwise slice, so I had to "supplement" the rear seal to get it to launch... but it kinda works!



The key improvements needed next:

- Nice straight lengthwise cuts with correct and consistent amount of circumference removed. (Note to self: split it BEFORE sculpting it!!)

- A good tight seal along the ENTIRE length (don't get fancy and try to "taper" the interior; real Elite Missiles have a very snug fit from beginning to end!)

- Some weight up front will go a long way towards making it fly further and not "tumble". Real Elite Missiles are definitely nose-heavy.
