Quest X-30 Aerospace Plane Part 6, Vacu-form Nose Cone



I cut the nose cone base off a little wide. There wasn't a definate edge and I didn't want to cut it too short.

The plastic was pretty thick and took a few passes to cut through.

The front bulkhead is pressed in place. Hold it up to the light to make sure it is level.

I drew a pencil line around the bulkhead joint. This gives me a straight line to apply the plastic glue in the right area.  



After the bulkhead glue dried, the lip was trimmed down with sharp scissors.
After trimming the plastic edge was sanded level with some 220 grit on a block.
