'Retro' Rockets

\
I love the streamlined Deco-style rockets from the old sci fi films, so I thought I'd make a couple out of odds and ends. It's easy to do - just look for something rocket shaped, and add fins and portholes. The little one is made from a highlighter, the bigger from an popsicle mold and the lid of a roll-on deodorant bottle. The fins are made of those weird dental floss applicators. Use whatever you can find that looks good- washers, lids off toothpaste tubes, nails, etc. Dollar stores are a great source of cheap plastic bits and pieces.

Step 1Highlighter Rocket

Highlighter Rocket
To make the highlighter rocket, cut the nozzle off a highlighter, and glue the cap onto the rear. I used epoxy resin but there are probably better glues out there. All plastics react differently, unfortunately.
