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! Dave David Harvey Principal Conservator & Museum Consultant Los Angeles CA.
