Retro Sci-fi Rocket

I'm planning on suspending that air plant effectively. I needed something with a bit of panache to display an air plant above my workspace at the office, since I have a fascination with rocket science - why not? This was a project of rapid prototyping and continuous refinement. I dedicated two evenings to designing, printing, re-designing, and printing the final components. There's an outer casing (ideally printed from a partially transparent material), a pressure vessel core (preferably a color that complements the outer casing color well), an outer Fin perimeter ring, and a Fin inner infill. CA glue is used to secure the fins to the body and the fin inners simply snap into place (assuming you have your printer set up correctly). Quick prints of each of the four parts can take about four hours total time if you can switch filaments and restart immediately. I know the air plant isn't visible, I'll show the plant in its new location at my desk when I next return to work.
