Our very own Rachel Hobseon @ CRAFT spotted these. She writes:

This project combines two of my favorite things: crayons and rockets. It may have taken John Coker 12 years to complete this project (hey, who among us hasn’t had a case of lingering works-in-progress?) but the result was more than worth it. He’s even included a step-by-step of how he made the rockets. The detail in matching the Crayola design is pretty impressive. I just want to know if he could find a way to add in that awesome Crayola smell.

    To get all the marks out of the sky.

    Nicely done!

    That crayon smell might actually be added by leaving a few regular crayons in the box at launch time, but then again that’s a bit of fire hazard at those temperatures…

    Follow the link- GREAT detail!

    BTW- it ‘only’ took 6 years, 1998-2004, as this is somewnat dated… but none the less interesting.
