Duuudee!  You should so do a tutorial on this i got sheets of sintra sitting around and was hoping this could be done!  Just not sure where to start!!  I got like a million questions! 

Unfortunately I didn't take a whole lot of photos when I was making stuff.  I think I've posted just about everything I took.  The first step is printing out the templates and getting them glued onto the sintra.  Then start cutting away!  The forums are filled with tips and great ideas.  This kind of stuff can seem overwhelming at first but you just have to give it a shot.  It's been a lot of fun.

You can fill em with foam to sturdy them up further, or even with resin, but then they will be a bit heavier.  I wanted to ask how you did the ring where the rocket attches with the slots in it.  It looks so perfect, i cant quite figure out how you did that so well. 

I did think about filling them with foam but I think they'll be fine as is.  This is just going to be displayed so it really shouldn't see any kind of action.  I spent a long time making that rocket collar ring.  The outside part was cut out of one piece of plastic (kind of looked like a giant toothed lock washer).  The inside was just a few layers of foamboard cut into circles and then covered in plastic.  The tricky part was cutting about 50 tiny triangles to go underneath and give it the proper shape.  I painstakingly cut them by hand and then glued them all into place.  My wife thought I was nuts. 

Once again, thank you everyone for the encouragement.  More updates coming soon! 

Awesome thread, inspiring would be a better word really.  You've done an excellent job on your JP.  I've been wanting to play with WOF templates for a while and its great to see someone with talent do them justice.
