    I like it, but the flames coming out of the rocket annoy me. If you took your picture full frontal, then the straight line that ends it would have been masked behind the rocket. Right now, seeing it like that just kind of ruins it.

    Otherwise, nice little project. :^:

    I agree about the flames. It may be more effective and engaging for you to try and cut some paper, color it, and cone it up in layers as such:

    Then, stick that bad boy in the bottom of that there rocket you've got there. :D

    Being that i have an exam in ten hours, i find it funny for some reason that you used a scantron to visualize fire.

    Really nice!!!, but there is a but. :P Like some other people before me have pointed out; the flame looks really off, it sure doesn't look like it is originating from the nozzle, (in any angle). :/

    LEDs wouldn't have looked right. Did you try modeling flames?

    You could just take them off, rockets in space don't have flames anyway.

    I don't think that scientific accuracy was ever a priority in this project.
    Rockets in space aren't jury rigged together out of (what looks like) spare pieces of brass and pipe

    Obviously, I was just saying that if he's really not happy with the flames, he could just take them off and it would still look fine.

    thanks for the response guys/girls. I did try modeling the flames with clay but i was not happy with the outcome. Originally I did have it without flames but I though the piece needed more color hence my decision to defy the laws of nature. NeoRedXIII paper suggestion seems like it will yield some cool results with little effort. I'm going to try that and maybe replace the board since the model is only pegged in place.

    Heres something else I put together recently...
