Rocketship from Dollar Store Champagne Flutes
« on: July 14, 2014, 01:50:24 PM »
I needed a rocketship for my raygun-gothic adventures, be they Retro Raygun, Fantastic Worlds, Archon Raygun, Playing With My 4y/o Son, whatever.

You can get these champagne flutes in a 2-pack at Dollar Tree in the US.  The shapes are amazing and suggestive of so many cool great thinngs.
