Titan II balsa nose cone replacement?
Hi you guys--i hope you dont think this is a stupid question but is there anything like a balsa nose cone available anywhere to scratch build a Titan II like the old estes kit..
every time one comes up on ebay it ends up selling for 100 bucks and thats a little out of my price range i can get the rest of the parts together but that part stops me--i wish i could mold some thruster nozzles too.. i have bought a gemini capsule from moldin oldies in the past, but this part doesnt seem to be available there and its temporarily out for a break.

I'm not sure what scale you want. I can change it to pretty but fit any body tube you want.
Does this look about right to you guys?

Actually Gordon, without doing the measurements, that actually looks better than the one in the Estes kit. I use to "babysit" Titan IIs and never really liked the way Estes had them looking.

Actually I never could find any data on the Estes Titan nose cone so...I just scaled it from some Titan II pics I found online.
I really don't know what the Estes cone looked like.
