Hello Kathleen, Most modern model rockets have a round cavity at the base for the rocket motor. You'll probably NOT want to have the motors installed for the exhibition, they're hard to see with the rocket standing up anyway. If you remove the motors, perhaps you can find or make wooden dowels to fit into the motor cavity, and attach those dowels upright to a sturdy base inside the case, that should stabilize them nicely. That may not work for all of them, but should do the trick for most. Hope that helped, Curtis Morris Exhibits Shiloh Museum of Ozark History 118 W.

Some measuring @ 3' high. We want to display them standing upright under a Plexiglas case . Any recommendations of how to attach/ mount them to the base of the case so that they won't fall over if the case is knocked? Thank you Kathleen M.
