Missiles for your Foam Jet!

Hey Guys,

After getting my 3dfoamy.com "Mig 28" ready for some movie making action with my buddies F-14, I realized that I needed some ordnance to put on the wingtip pylons for that "authentic" look. I got to thinking of what I could use for missiles and without a clue I headed out to the local craft store to see what I could find.

To my surprise I found that knitting needles make the perfect missile body! They come in various diameters and cost anywhere from a couple of bucks upwards. These particular ones were hollow plastic and pretty light. Cut to length, add some fins, and you are ready to shoot down your flying buddy!
