Rocket Kit for Grown-up Guy

[kristijoy]

I was thinking about this last night. My DH has several hobbies, model rockets being one of them. (Model trains and building models or space shuttles, airplanes, etc.. are others). Usually these type of kits are made for little kids rather than grown-up guys.

I would LOVE some hobby kits for adult guys.

Here's my dream rocket kit:

Colors: white, kraft, deep sky blue (lots of blue sky in rocket photos), orange, and an orangyed

Rocket Elements: model rockets, nose cones (straight and bent ones!), string, nylon streamers, rubber bands, glue, paint brushes, model paints, cardboard paper tubes (straight and bent ones!), recovery wadding (crumpled tissue paper), parachutes, smoke, rocket motors (paper tubes), notebook paper for recording launch records.

Generic Elements: variety of arrows, maybe some swirls, & splats

Word Art: Blast Off! - 3, 2, 1 - Fly! - Crash! - Search - Rescue - Recovery - Desirn

I like my grown-up guy kits a little bit scruffy: Sanded or crinkled papers, sanded chipboard, dirt and sand splatters.

Here's a picture of my DH!

Have you seen Libby's Space kit? It is very versatile and the colors would go well with your pictures. Look in the gallery for some LOs with this kit for inspiration.

That looks like a fun kit!
