I already bought a super light balsa block from hobby lobby with a 40% off coupon and glued it up. I glued the top and side profiles on the block, cut them out on the band saw then tack glued it to the front of the fuse and sanded round. This is what I came out with so far. I still need to remove it and hollow out the inside some. Total cost of just the nose cone is $4.50. Kind of a expensive piece of wood but it is done now.
