Does anyone recognize that movie line? It's from one of our favorite movies, Stranger Than Fiction. So I got it in my head to make a space shuttle for DH, with The Greeting Farm's Space Ian as the star. This would have been about 4 bajillion times easier if I'd had any sort of skinny canister around the house, but as it was, I ended up making my own cylinder with an inside layer of black and outside layer of white. I also made the cone by hand, and the wings, tail (with moving rudder), and engines. The easy part was coloring Space Ian with copics, adding some metal nailheads to his suit and glossy accents on his helmet. I stamped another image, cut it out, and poked the wire through the back. Then I adhered the two images together with scor-tape, sandwiching the wire between. I also put a paperclip between the two at the bottom, in order to offset the weight of the glossy accents so he'd float in space straight.
I would have loved to fill it with Milky Ways, but that would involved buying some and that would lead to eating them. I went with a Cookies and Cream bar, which DH likes and I don't.

WOW, you must have been a design engineer before you became a paper crafter. This totally rocks and I bet one of your nephews would appreciate this, too. What a great project.
