CHRIS'S 3D ROCKET BASE


Fellow toy enthusiast here, and a huge, huge, HUGE fan of your site - and REALLY wish had as many cool boot sales in my neck of the woods!

Anyway, thought you might like to see my current hobby project: an old-school, retro sci-fi 3D printable build-your-own rocket toy - with plenty of accessories and ephemera as well!


Keep up the great work and have FUN!
Chris

  1. One thing he might want to do are a line of parts that could be attached to spent plastic containers (consumer goods like pen parts and so forth).


    I’d like to see adaptations of these:

    1. Chris here - very cool idea! I've already made some parts (like the illuminated craters you see above) that work with remote tea lights!

  4. That is awesome Chris! Love the old school look as well as the hardware and bits-and-pieces that turn it into a diorama worthy endeavor!
