Epik spaec mishun!
It looks like a lot of fun. I was in the local model shop, and they had a few cool ones, but my favorites were the Spaceship1 and the Mercury Redstone. I'm googling for more "Realistic" model rockets like that.
Be sure and look around for local rocketry clubs in your area - they'll have access to larger fields, ground-support equipment, and a wonderful knowledge-base to draw advice and ideas from.

It all looks really cool but I wouldn't trust my self. I'd probably end up blowing something (possibly me) to bits and/or propelling my rocket into someone's house. Need a lot of space.
Believe it or not, Estes rockets came onto the market when I was a kid -- that's how long they've been around. It was a post-Sputnik craze in those days. My older brother and I built and flew dozens and dozens of them. Some of my fondest memories of childhood involve flying those rockets ...

on topic sorta: another one of my fun rocket ideas. gat an soldier figure or lego or something tape him on the rocket and well you know the rest. PS: you could also put the lego guy or what ever next to a fire cracker.
