Mini Spaceship!

This is my attempt at freestyling a cardboard spaceship! Enjoy! Sorry, this is my first instructable, so bear with me please! Also, I made mine in a rush, so it is a bit (not a bit---really) sloppy. You can add thrusters if you really want to.

Alright, cut out a rectangular piece of cardboard the length and width of the base. Now take a piece of cardboard the width of the base and glue it to the back of the rectangle. Glue a thin piece of cardboard to the rectangle at an angle. Glue all that to a piece of cardboard. Add supports if needed. Blast off!!!
