|  Aluminum FJ40 nose
A fellow club member came to me a while back about making an aluminum replica of the lexan FJ nose on his class 3 rig. well i finally finished it. I started with the lexan piece of course and divided it up in sections to pour resin in.   here are the parts as the came out of the molding process  Then i cleaned them up and cut them into sections  and ran some test pieces  then clipped them together to see how they all fit.  I'm bringing it to our next comp this weekend to work out the mounting details. |

Very nice! I can see a lot of these being used on the wraith. Couple this with some DMG goodies and bam, your cooking!
