    Default Rocket Trophy

    Hi,

    Was asked to make a trophy for a trivia night at an upcoming work conference. It had to be future themed. So me being a science fiction nut I made a rocket ship on a stand. The rocket ship is made out of beefwood sanded to 800 and then finished with eee and shellawax. The upright is made out of an offcut of meranti and the base made out of a piece of timber borrowed from the father in laws shed. All sanded to 800 and finished with EEE and Shellawax. Looks pretty good I reckon. Now I just need to win the Trivia night.

    Nice! But maybe you should put wings on it! Kinda looks like it needs batteries otherwise!

    Default Updated Rocket

    Well,

    As this trivia night will have women and alcohol involved I have modified the rocket so it doesn't look like something that needs batteries. If it raises nay thoughts like that you may need to get your head read. See what you think.

    Hi,

    In Tea Lady's defence we do have some very warped women in my workplace. And that is before alcohol.

    So I need my head read as well, for I thought the same. Great minds think alike.

    The extra little wings may stop it rolling around in a drawer but it still doesn't look like a rocket to me. The stubbed nose doesn't look right for a rocket.


    Peter.

    Hi,

    Quick lesson on Rocketry - contrary to popular belief not all rockets have pointy noses - pointy and edged surfaces are brilliant for atmospheric conditions. A little tip to you all - space is the absence of atmosphere - no need for pointy surfaces. Look at the following link -

    Model of Friendship 7 on Atlas 6 Booster Rocket - John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum

    The trophy is meant to be a representation of the future - please remove mind from gutter. I love positive criticism - not advice as to whether the article would be better served in a drawer with batteries.

    Todd, I apologize if I have upset you.

    But, in my defence, I formed my opinion on seeing the photo and still refrained from posting about it until such time you posted the following asking what we think of it.
