Did not think of that! We just gathered up some "blems" that were laying around and "posed" them.
The lack of larger printed chutes and manuals have kept us from doing the "specials."
One special I always wanted was a set of all the body tube sizes in very short (2-3") lengths. I have access to that now.  When I am building a rocket, I use a short piece of tube to fit the nose cone, then sand it, fill it, and paint it. THEN I finsih the actual body tube. This keeps all the sanding and layers of filler coat off the final tube. The short piece is then thrown away. I used to think that everyone did that.
