I don't know what's more charming than a spaceship made from an old 1947/8 vacuum cleaner. (I've since lost the source of this photo or the identity of the artist.)
Naturally, I had to draw this creation orthographically.
The process involved lots of research into Electrolux vacuum cleaners, automotive side mirrors, and deer warning whistles.

I recall so many days as a nipper playing with our old Electrolux pretending it was a giant spaceship!
It was just the right size to augment my play with my little plastic spacemen! _________________ There comes a time, thief, when gold loses its lustre, and the gems cease to sparkle, and the throne room becomes a prison; and all that is left is a father's love for his child. |

Love the Chevy hood ornament on top. That must be the shuttle craft for brief excursions.
