Some classic shapes from the 1950's there.  I'll admit, when I first saw this thread title, my first thought was Poul Anderson's A Spaceship Built For Brew which had a beer-propelled spaceship (that probably says something about my interests and tastes).

Rockets, beer and the Swans. Sounds like a winning combination!

Yep, looking forward to the Swans show in Seattle on Sept.4.

The rockets will be hung from the garage ceiling with the rest of the spaceships
and related (1/18 V1, 1/48 V2, 1/6 Explorer 1, 1/20th D-558-1 Skystreak(one-piece solid resin
aerospace model -shop casting, 1/48 Aurora X-15 Sattelloid Rocket Plane, 1/144 Narcissus Shuttle,
Halcyon Nostromo.
I'll also be adding an in-work Space:1999 Eagle to the ceiling mounted graveyard.

The saucers (Lost in Space, Forbidden Planet) are next.  :icon_music:

When I first saw the title of this thread, I imagined something somewhat more 'red neck'...
All hail the God of Frustration!!!
