Feet
We bought 10 "uncoated foam balls" to use as feet. These are similar to the balls we used as feet on the previous Big Daddy Akavish. But, at 8" in diameter, they are bigger and they are made of a different kind of foam.
I used the drill press to carefully cut a hole in each ball.
We finally made the big decision and cut 9" off of each leg. This will bring the overall height of the rocket to about 6 feet.
After cutting the legs, we sanded the end to help the glue adhere. Then we glued a ball to the end of each leg. Bracha then filled the gaps at the tops of the holes with glue and left-over foam pieces.
We now have nine legs (eight and a spare) ready for paint and fur!
