I agree with Curtis's advice about using a round support that is attached
to the base of the platform in the exhibit case that will fit inside the
round base of the model rocket. As a conservator I would not use wood,
which can contain acids that can corrode metals and damage other materials.
I suggest making round supports from plexi tubes with square bases for
mounting to the exhibit platform.

Cheers!
