Default Nike Launcher

It's been some time since I posted here. I built both of Sandman's Nike Hercules Missile kits and wanted to know if there are plans to kit a display launcher for either rocket.?

Basically I made one up as a "see if I could do it" project so I just drew up plans while I made it.

I had a bunch of small 1/2" thick stock and put one together.

The one I made is currently in a Nike museum in New Jersey.

Will you do a kit or posts prints of the launcher? I'd like to make one.

OK, but I have three scales of it.

I have them in pdf and I include those plans with the kit.

So, if you have a kit check the disc. Look for the file that says "Launcher".

I built mine with basically 1/2" by 1/2" poplar (pine would work).

I used no nails or screw, super glue, some carpenter's glue and wood dowels as pegs.

OK, here's the tiny one 4 x 13mm.

Honestly that's all I have. Not sure how accurate they are.

I could't find much info or good pics of the launchers.

Looking closely at the files it's very hard to and in some cases I can't read the dimensions of the drawings. I think I'll try to get some pictures of a launcher and come up with some sort of display unit.
