New Rocket Storage Shelves, Part 2




The shelves are Melamine from Lowe's.
Look close and you can see the pencil marks for the drilling.
They are 4" apart across the long front and 3" apart from front to back.







TIP: I used a wrap of masking tape around the drill bit as a depth guide so I wouldn't drill through the bottom of the shelf.




The the thicker drilled shelves are set on the thin plastic shelves in the storage unit. I wouldn't have been able to set rods into the thin plastic.

The models are slid over the rods, shorter models in front, taller in the rear.
Some models slide over the launch lugs, most models have the rods going up loose into the engine mounts.
This is a big improvement over my first try a few years back.

The short rods help keep the models upright, the best position for storage. Standing on the rods, there is no chance of the models falling over like dominoes!
