I thought I posted the rocket I made after the Levett & Lee days.
I have just made a variation to post and unable to find the rocket that I thought I'd posted.

So Thelma made a large rocket from a 646 at the days and that got me thinking about a smaller
version that I have been playing with for a while now.

I think I made this a couple of weeks ago now.

These were the other rockets I tried, slight variations on the pinch twists
that are meant to look a little like the engines.

I'm trying for some more basic models for the real world situation.

I made this design a few days if not a week back but forgot to post it.
Made with a 321.

Then playing about with the engine design on the rocket today.

A funny thing? I was entertaining at a party up in London over the weekend
and a little boy asked for a rocket, great I thought and made the rocket
along with USA on the side. It was then that another parent came up and
said you do realise the people hosting the party are Russian.

It made me smile.

A few more rockets I made 7/10 days ago now.
I was still not happy with the design although I was not sure why.

Picture 13 was possibly my favourite but then I had one pre made and I twisted
the bubbles into loops and voila there was something I liked about this one.

So much so that I filmed it the next day for BallooTube.
A 350 or 321 would work depending what you have about.

Having another play with the rocket idea.
Tried some chrome and also adding some pinch twists
under the 350 to try and bulk it up a little.
