One of the goals of engineering is to save money and reduce cost. The bigger something is the more materials are needed and the more money it will cost. So that's why they're skinny. They're pointy because located at the tip is the launch abort system (LAS) which in case something goes wrong during launch, it can safely remove crew from vehicle. Hope this info. answers your question.
Apogee Rockets, Estes Rockets, Discount Rocketry, Rocket Fun, and Red Arrow Hobbies are just a few of the stores that sell model rockets and model rocket supplies.
There are mainly two types of model rockets: pre-assembled or ready-to-fly rockets that require minimal or no construction, and model rocket kits that require assembly. Model rocket kits can be further categorized based on their complexity and size, ranging from beginner kits to advanced high-power rockets.
Most model rockets do not come with glue. It also depends on which type you are purchasing and where you are purchasing it from. Try calling a store or company and asking if their model rockets come with the glue.

She's not fat at all. She's a skinny model.
Most model's hips are about 32-34 inches.
Yes, I would say based on my research, model rockets are safe for children. The site, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_rocket, quotes, "Model rocketry is a safe and widespread hobby."
