Could I make a rocket out of a... ...simulated male reproductive organ toy?

I - well - um.. Yes, yes you could. I'm not going to go into detail but yeah, you can make "red rockets". ;)
 
With enough thrust you can make a rocket out of almost anything.
 
Thought about scaling up one for the first BALLS launch in 1991 after LDRS X. The original premise was "Got the balls to fly a K". No motor certs then, K motor minimum. Ended up flying my Laser LOC 3.1 on a Vulcan K420-20. At the time, a J motor was like an N now :)
 
People have done similar odd rocs, so it’s neither original nor clever.

I am with you on that. Humor is great in rockets, but that is a bit over the edge for me. Not exactly something I want to see at a club launch with kids and their parents watching.

I did like the Estes PortaPot Shot, although I thought it was heavily underpowered.

I have an unbuilt Kit I will someday build with a D engine mount and rear ejection.

Then there was the Uranus Explorer . That was built out of toilet paper tubes (including fins and nose cone)

So I guess I am not too much of a purist :p.

I have also seen pics of model rockets such as a flying brick

And a flying hot dog on a bun, the”Shot Dog”

Hans "Chris" Michielssen Made that one, he’s a master builder. Check out his blog
