Well, I do this all the time for other hobbies. So, I keep cardstock on hand at all times...

Haven't much got into cardstock rocketry, but in a bit of a twist cardstock rocketry has gotten into me: being the creator of the webtoon 'Stone Trek' I've had enthusiasts out there capitalize on my creations... the stoneship U.S.S. Magnetize (BCC-1701)!
