Fliskits MACME Shrew Build, Part 13, The Real Nose Cone Part B

NOTE: You won't be using all the provided clay in the nose cone! The instructions don't mention this.
There is just not enough room to fit it all in. You still need space to recess and glue in the nose base assembly.
The nose base should butt up against the bottom of the clay.
Flatten the last pancake of clay at the correct angle so the nose base sets against it.


The nose cone skin was stuck on with a glue stick.

Even with the best fit, there was still a small white lip underneath.
To harden up the edges for trimming and sanding, the bottom edge got a light coat of CA.



The other end of the nose block was too tight in the body tube.

I saved the left over BT-2.5 piece from the first step to fit the nose block before gluing it into the nose cone.

The inset shows everything fixed and in place.
