Escape system rocket (scale, proposed or fantasy/own design).
Alternative history: first space booster. (What if Sputnick had failed or wasn't the first?)
Alternative history/fantasy: "authentic"
space rocket from a specific period in the distant past. Examples:
- Antiquity
- Gothic or Dark Ages, including Viking empire
- Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica
- Medieval Europe/Asia
- European Renaissance (What if Da Vinci had designed a space booster?)
- Revolutionary period
- 19th century/Steampunk
Rocket shown in an actual cartoon, comic book, comic strip or graphic novel.
Goony-scale - goony version of an actual sounding rocket, military weapon system or launch vehicle. (Can someone build a Goony Snark or Hound Dog? And make it fly?)
Heavy metal rockets. (The musical genre, not the construction material.)
Rockets with operational
clockwork-powered payloads (i. e., mechanical, not electronic). The payload must actually do something, even if it is just to ring a bell or something. (I would LOVE to see a cuckoo clock rocket!)
