Still More Rocketships

Still more rockets:  these are made with golf tees and flower anchors for wedding cakes.  The mirror universe goateed evil alternates' capture of this facility has just guaranteed an interesting episode for the heroes.

Never seen flower anchors before.

Do they come from flower shops or somewhere else?

They're in the wedding section of craft stores such as Michael's or Hobby Lobby.

Are the models 28mm or 15mm?  These look great and I think I will be stealing your idea.

The models are 28mm from Hydra Miniatures, which I highly recommend.

There are also much bigger versions. You can see them under flower bouquets at the cemetery.

"Uh, I better look in the manual... This book must be out of date. I don't see "Prussia", "Siam" or "autogyro"...

Oh, Froggy, I've seen those for years, and never thought they could be that KEWL, that simply!  :o

Oh, you know I hate feeling this dumb!

Going to go off for a bit of a mutter...

> Ooooooh, I may have to investigate this and make more rockets.

The cake ones are 'styrene, right? Pretty sure the monumentals are a softer plastic. Course, that's only an impediment to those of us bereft of imagination.

*mutter mutter*
