Ok, here we go...I got an idea to build a retro style rocket...
I used a plastic water bottle, part of a large plastic Easter egg, the cap off of a mouthwash bottle, various bitz of plastic and sewing snaps for the hatch handles......

I saw the scenario go sorta like this....."Ok Barnaby, I brought you here to show u the rocket we will use for the mission. Yes, yes, I know it doesn't look like much."
"Um, no Barnaby, we don't HAVE a few months to get her all polished and pretty....our mission orders came in yesterday, along with the names of the volunteer crew...we blast off next Monday at 0800hrs."
"Barnaby!!...well you don't have to be SO snippy with me.....YES I know YOU are the scientific-engineering-psychological expert.....but, but.......OH ALRIGHT!!...I'll see what I can do...BUT NO PROMISES...be prepared to lift of Monday as planned."
And her she is in ALL of her gleaming glory......

And as always...ALL critiques are requested...good OR bad...let me know what ya think of the old girl!!
Cheers,
Carl

Thank you kind sir!!

You are welcome.
I couldn't figure it out either,as getting the embed code did not work.
I ended up right-clicking on the image to get the 'image address' and inserted that in the IMG tags.
Hope that helps.

Great looking bit of scratch building. Very 1950s...do you have a picture with a 28mm figure included?
