Just moved into an apartment myself so I know the feeling as well.

Fortunately I have a HUGE walk-in closet with light that I installed a CFL into in my room so luckily it wasn't an issue. Turns out apartments and rockets can mesh well if done right.;)

Pic to come later.:D

Nice fleet, I have the same feeling and my fleet is a lot smaller than yours!

LOL, you aren't in the field of marriage counseling, are you Fred? ;) You could have at least suggested micromax before tossing the family out into the streets.

In the case of adult offspring you kill two birds with one stone :p Humour advisory : No actual adult offspring were harmed in the making of this joke :)

Looks like a twin body tube rocket, with a curious looking nosecone on each tube...

Reminds me of something I've seen somewhere else...

It's all relative- you don't have too many rockets, just too small of a place to put them in.

And your rockets aren't taking over your apartment, rather your apartment appears to be shrinking around your rockets. Dumb apartment.

Lol. rockets have taken over my apartment too :p. Every surface, every wall, lol.

One time I called the cops because someone stole my PLAYSTATION 3. The cop entered and first thing he asked was "Do you fly rockets?"

I answered "Yes, how did you know?" lol

Two desks and the ceiling is where all of mine reside in the woodshop that's become more rocketshop on my side. ;) I should do like you did and put some in the chair space under the desk except...that's where all my body tubes are! Looks like you've got a good collection; I've got to get pics of mine..I can't exactly fit them all in one shot though. ;) I agree though; lots of room yet to stash more, you just have to get more creative :p The problem with desks is that if I go to get one in the middle it's hard to not have the domino effect of rockets starting to fall...that'll scare ya every time.

Is that foam you put down on top of the surfaces? Must be dense stuff to keep rockets from tipping over. :confused:

Yep it foam. The stuff they sell at wally world in the flower section. I use dowel rods through the launch lugs for extra support. The foam does mold nicely to the engine mounts though.

Thanks To you and everyone for the suggestions and complements.

You could start buying larger rockets and just store the others inside. No extra space taken up.

I have a basement! :D I would have a collection like that if I hadn't decided to start building fewer, larger rockets.
