Rocketarium Hydra Sandhawk Build Part 17, Nose Cone Mask




Here's the only picture I could find online showing the hand painted flames on the nose cone.

That picture was rotated and blown up to the BT-60 diameter of 1.637" wide.

The "flames" were traced and copied into an approximation of the area width, shown at the top.
Going around the nose cone, it looked like there were eight "high flames" and eight "low flames".

This is all a guess, the original flames were hand painted so I'm just going for close.
The flame pattern was printed out.
The print was taped to the outside of my patio door to make a poor man's light table.
The door was shut and clear tape layed over the print on the inside of the glass.
Everything was cut out with a #11 blade.
The strip was cut into sections at the top of the flames.
