"Bones" Halloween Build, Part 4, Skull Nose Cone

Check out the width of the skull on the left compared to the center skull that was cut out.

I widened the skull in Corel Draw. When it is wrapped around the centering ring supports it will look narrower.
I also blacked out the eyes, added nostrils and knocked out a few teeth.

The three 20/50 rings were glued and stacked on the top of a BT-20.

The skull was printed on 110 lb. card stock. The cut out skull was glued onto a second layer of 110 lb. stock for strength.

I wanted to glue the skull wrap on at an angle, with the chin and neck closer to the base of the BT-20. On the right the lower ring was sanded and tapered. I drew a pencil line to show what was removed.

The skull was rounded using a clean dowel in the palm of my left hand.

Here's how the skull face was glued on, at the angle mentioned earlier.






The BT-20 needed an adapter to fit the internal BT-5.
Two 5/20 rings were glued onto a Mosquito style nose cone using Fabri-Tac glue.
This was glued inside the BT-20 nose cone assembly.
