And now for something completely different:
I recently got back into model rocketry after a five-year hiatus and was looking to build something new and eventually decided on this. The rocket is based on the missile from the Metroid series. More specifically, it's modelled on the SSBB version (see inset). I couldn't quite match the color on the top (it's not quite so red in RL) but it's good enough.
I have no idea how stable it will be in flight, I guess I'll find out when I launch it (one of the many reasons this hobby is interesting!)

I got into model rocketry too, but then I found the engines were more fun to play with if you just strap em to a coat hanger clipped into a launch stick like bottle rockets.
Then I discovered safety fuse is more fun to launch them with.
THEN i discovered that instead of a rocket body, using a roman candle was awesome.
THEN I figured out that i could make a rocket launcher out of PVC pipe and a launch rod and button.
THEN I found that instead of a parachute, you can pack it with gunpowder...
Then I found out that you can almost blow up a car with it
Then i found out that you should never play with these things if youre an evil child
Then i got back into it when I showed my cousin all the things NOT to do with them
Then it wasnt fun anymore lol
Wow I miss this stuff
I should get into it again.
