I'm not sure they use metal strips, but if they do they will be spring steel.. Spring steel is everywhere. \nI think they are more likely to use composite materials such as graphite, kevlar or glass fibre. Again these are really readily available.\nAll these materials are not really off the shelf items and are made for specific uses. You will find composite manufacturers in your yellow pages or on the internet. Hopefully they would have some local to you.

Yes it is called sunburst.  You can find the template in Adobe Photoshop.

Tell me wat kinda??\nModel rockects wooden body, or thin sheet of metal, depends on the strength required...\n\nHuge rockets, alloy named duralium and magnalium, And other alloys containin aluminium and tungsten because aluminium is very light and tungten gives it strength and stablity at high temperatures\n\nU even use carbo-fiber polymere's modified to sustain heat.

Aluminum. Lightweight, Durable. Its a metal so its way more reflective (good for sattelites) and it would stand up to weather better.

Chances are you won't be able to find "metallic' sand.\nIf you do, please tell me where  you find it.\n\nWhat you can do is get regular play sand from someplace like Wal mart (comes in 30 or 50 lb bags)  O you could get colored sand. Add glitter to it.  It won't be the same as the sand being metallic but it will look cool.  \n\nhttp://www.coloredplaysand.com/\n\nhttp://www.moonglowcandles.net/sand.htm

The main industrial use for both these metals is in catalytic converters.  They are almost always one expensive, one not so much.  This is because the automotive industry will take one and use it for a while, until the price difference becomes great enough for them to change back to the other metal.  Currently, they're using Platinum, which is why it is more expenisve.  Prior to this, they were using Palladium.\n\nAs of today (April 14th), Palladium is $344.10/oz; and Platinum is 1071.00/oz\n\nFor a brief overview of the market (and Pd spot prices), check out the link below to the mine I worked at two summers ago.

Actually it's not that simple. It is carbon fiber in majority, but usually this is used along with metal structures like honeycomb aluminium. Carbon fiber is used on its own on parts that have to be delicately shaped, like, for example, the wings.\nThe pieces are moulded together by hand, after being cut using templates, then are heat-treated in an autoclave, which is like a giant oven. That hardens the carbon fiber structures and gives them 7 times the strength of aluminium. That's why honeycomb metal is used in crumple zones (areas of the car that are designed to break up in crashes), like the sidepods or the nose cone.

I would go with a dome tent, they're easy for one person to erect and you can find them in just about any size you might need. After one is up it's more stable than other tents. After a week long camping trip in Big Bend National Park there was a major storm during the night, next morning dome tents were the only ones standing, impressed me.

Yes, all the answers above are correct. But here's a link. Remember to be safe when out in the sun though!

For the exterior, it is aluminum. However, multiple metals are used for the interior/engine etc., like titanium.
