Semroc Micro Mars Lander, KMX-02, Part 3, Nose Cone & Tube Prep





The nose cone is probably the cleanest 3D part I have seen in a kit. There is still some ridges but they are small. At the bottom shoulder ridge there are some "nubs".





Using a sanding block with 400 grit, the nubs are sanded smooth.

As mentioned above, there is some layer ridges. The outside surface of the nose cone was sanded a bit, the remaining ridges will be filled with some sanded paint undercoats.



The engine mount and stuffer tube ends were laser cut. The ends were a little uneven. The ends were squared up with a sanding block.
