Cheers everyone for the comments. Garyt I think an alloy nose is a bit beyond my metal working skills I think I'll end up making a glass fibre one. I thought it would only take me a couple of weeks to do the body work Steve but that was two months of evenings ago and I've still got a fair bit to do yet. I'll get some more pics up as soon as I can.

Maybe I have a go. I'll have to see if I can improve my skills first though, it's the curves on more than one plane that'll make it difficult for me.
