Rockets don't breathe air. They don't need intakes. Cool project, though. I always follow your threads.

FERRARI ROCKET ENGINE!!!

I started with the Ferrari Engine and began adding Rocket Parts. I added strips of plastic on the BiG Rocket Engines so I could Stack other Rocket Parts on top!



I used the Metalic Red Paint to blend the 2 Engines together...



Here is the Engine with Reversed Ferrari Parts and more CarToon Rocket Parts in place. I used The Detailer, on most of the silver Rocket Parts...
