also, you can glue a lug within a carved groove in the nose, and then re-shape the nose to fill in the groove with wood filler, or spackle, cut the lug ends to match the nose contour and sand down the filler to match the original nose shape. You will have elliptic holes where the lug pokes out at the top and bottom, but should still look pretty cool. Might need to harden with some CA after shaping.
You could decorate a launch lug with the flag of Mexico, and mount that on a standoff.
Then you would have a Mexican Standoff launch lug.
