Custom Nomad Build Part 7 Nose Cone Disk


The nose cone disk is next.
The instructions say to cut it out with scissors but I think you'll have better control with a sharp hobby knife.
Trace around the outside of the disk with a pencil. It's easier to cut on a dark pencil line instead of the white plastic.




Lightly score around the outside edge of the disk keeping your knife on the outside of the pencil line.
Your knife should "trace" along the edge without too much trouble.

There is no need to cut all the way through the thin plastic. Cut about halfway through.





At the halfway point, I continued the cut line to the outside of the plastic to make the cracking easier.
Flex the plastic back and forth over the cut scored line and it should break in two.
