Title: If I wanted a Pulp/1950s Sci-Fi Rocket or spaceship...
Post by: Orctrader on June 01, 2014, 11:44:18 AM: ...what is available?

To suit 28mm figures.

Toy, kit. Open to all suggestions, but it must be something that is available. ::)

Post by: Diplomatist on June 01, 2014, 12:31:27 PM: I was able to buy a 'cosmic rocket' cheaply in a local charity shop - http://diplomatist2.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/to-stars-for-99p.html (http://diplomatist2.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/to-stars-for-99p.html) - a little small, but has def got potential.

Produced by the Science Museum, they can prob be got from places like Hawkins Bazaar.

I don't wish to boast (alright, I do!) but I have another 4 V2s unopened in their boxes at present. As we have said before, "A man can never have too many rockets!"

Peppa Pig had one a while ago......

Yes - I bought 2 and have eaten the sweets out of them. Yet another thing awaiting the time to do. I saw one on here that someone (Overlord?) had added an extra section to, which made it look better.
