Youse is too kind.
1) Thought about this some, seems to me all those labels and unit insignia were "keep busy" projects for the ADA troops suffering from terminal boredom. My guess is that the missiles were shipped from the factory bone white, so I'll address that with Missile #2.
2) Calling Missile # 1 complete. Display base is a 70's vintage (I think) cork and dark stained wood coaster carefully given a OD green overspray.
Missile contrail is a stiff insulated wire, J-hooked through a tiny hole in the coaster and locked into a second hole on the underside (no glue needed, can do a pic if anyone is really bored and curious). Contrail courtesy the wife's medicine cabinet. Marble top of drum table represents the curvature of the earth.
Fun fact - the missile bobs easily, like one of those Tiki-bar flamingos. Appropriate for the MAD MEN era, no? Ice cube is flouride-free.
I call it the Tupolev Chaser
Bottle for scale.
I know chasers are supposed to follow a real drink, but with Jim Beam
you're so damn 'merican you don't need anything else. AmIright?
