Parts Used:

Assembled Saturn V LEGO Set
wooden base plate (bottom of a display case from Ikea in this example)
LED rope or strip lights (16 ft was enough for a 2ft rod)
2 ft long 1/2 inch diameter threaded steel rod
3 x 1/2 inch nuts
2 x 1/2 inch inner diameter washers
Small bag of cotton stuffing

drill with 1/2 inch bit
