Pigasus! Build Part 15 Nose Cone


This is the first time I've ever used pink paint on a rocket.

Now the pig is really starting to look like a pig.





This is where all the design work starts to pay off.

The decals and goggles really finish off the nose end well.
I'll have to go back and do some reworking of the goggle to get a better fit.

  1. Chris, Did you use a MicroSol decal setter on the head or would you recommend MicroSol for better surface contact of the mouthpiece decal?

    Thanks for your input.

    1. Hi CEM,
      I rarely use the MicroSol, I didn't on this build. If your surface is smooth and glossy you usually won't need it. The Pigasus is a sport model. I would only use a decal solvent on a scale model, like over the corrugation on the Estes Little Joe II.
