I wanted to share with you all a project that I created 4 years ago and recently just finished updating and upgrading.

You may have seen my rocket sculpture made entirely out of household items on the front page of r/gifs on reddit about 4 years ago:

I have learned a lot in the last few years doing DIY projects and decided I was ready to try cleaning up this rocket sculpture with more professional quality finishes.

One of the first questions most people ask is, "Why?", So I'll write a brief explanation.

As an adult I grew more and more interested in NASA and space exploration. One day I was picturing someone watching the moon landing as a kid and how exciting that must have been. I then imagined them running around looking for things to make their own rocket to play with.

So using only items that someone from the late 1960s would have access to in their home, I set out to create a one-of-a-kind rocket sculpture. It also helped that most my furniture is considered Mid Century and I enjoy Fallout style artwork.

If you are interested in seeing some of the DIY upgrade process I have an album with descriptions found here:
