Engines... or something...

I got these Menthos gum containers

but if you cut the lid off and glue it to the top, you got a fair nice little engine I think.

I like the look of this, but not for anything that I'm currently working on. Hoping I can inspire somebody. That's all I got

Thanks Mike! I have a ship design that I have been sitting on for literally YEARS but never gotten off the ground- that looks just like the part I need to base the engines on... Now- off to the Walgreens!
