BClemens is working on his Fokker DVIII on a separate thread. He came up with a novel solution to obtaining the curved cowl, one of incrementally sized rings stacked upon one another. He filled the space between the rings with acrylic spackle, sanded to shape and painted the cowl!

It's an idea if nothing else. Personally, I'll create a mold and cast the nose out of paper mache.
