    ..... they always landed on the tail fins of the rockets :ph34r:



    You have to land on the tail fins. Otherwise you plug up the hole where the fire comes out. ...unless you could figure out a way to get it to tilt a little when you're ready to go.

  7. Favorites are 1 & 4 but both look unfinished. Both are pleasing to my eyes in a retro-ish sorta way. If all remain as-is, I'll go with #4.

    #2 is OK but looks "pieced together".

    #5 seems generic and unimpressive. Looks more like a window sticker than a label.

    #3 is least favorite. Nothing going for it at all.
