I would suggest you take a sheet of celophane (clear or colored, your
preference) paint a few Day-Glow lines and/or stars on it. Form it into
a
cone, then twist the cone tip end around a few times. Place it base down
on
that table and voila' -- you have a jump point twisting off to
infinity!!!!

P.S. Clear celophane (the non-sticking kind that you get from the
hardware
stores)
is an excellant construction material. I have a set of roads where I put
the
painted side down ( so it doesn't wear off) that I can use on any
terrain (
the background shows through), is remarkably flat, and the models with
small
bases don't tip over on the edges.
