"Faking" Centuri PNC-165 nose cone

Yeah, I just didn't bother trying to model it in RockSim. I had an original USS America "back in the day" (which had the same PNC-165 nose cone). Steve "Austin" (Texas) Rogers did a 2.4X upscale of the Centuri Quasar:

...and he has a couple of pictures (overhead and side view) of the PNC-165 that I'll try to replicate the cockpit from.

Maybe I'll have to "fudge" one out of cardstock after I extrapolate the proper dimensions. Then I was thinking that I'd have to glue it to the nose cone *before* I did my usual "Wood Hardener" treatment. Of course, I'll have to round the pointy Semroc BC-165 slightly before I do that, as well.
Cheers,
