Some what rocket related.
I just finished customizing my Friendship 7 capsule.
I 3D printed the drogue chute compartment, and made the retro pack straps from plastic sheet.
I gave it a pre re-entry paint job and here it is.

Nicer than the real ones. I've seen a few of them... they're so crudely built (at least by today's standards) that you can appreciate how brave those original seven astronauts were to strap themselves into one of those things.
