Score the nose cone fold lines before cutting it off the sheet.
Sometimes it helps to form the tight folds down the edge of a ruler.
TIP: Try using very little glue when gluing together cardstock pieces. Apply some glue, smooth it so a film of glue remains. Be sure you have some glue over the entire tab.
Long tweezers can help hold the sides together while the glue sets up.The second picture is a dry fit of the nose block. Don't push it in too much, the round block can bow out the card stock.
The leading edge of the fins ended up a bit wide, the shroud didn't slide all the way down onto the notches.
I went back and sanded the sides of the upper fins for a better fit.
There was a slight gap, my nose cone didn't meet up with the body shroud edge.
I drew up another nose cone, just a little longer. The slightly longer nose cone is on the PDF, available to Patreon supporters.
