I just got some nose cones from Estes. New for me, not new products.
I got the Sci-fi assortment because I wanted one of them for a likely X-15 build. It turned out to be not as nice as I'd hoped, but I'll have to make it work. There is also a wedge shaped nose cone that I'm thinking of putting on a wedge shaped rocket.
I also got a four pack of nose cones for BT-55 bodies. There are two long conical and two what I'd guess are ogive, but look really nice. They'll make a nice looking rocket.
I drew up a rough draft for a rocket, using one of the conical nose cones. I've been thinking about something along these lines since I first downloaded Open Rocket.

No motor? :facepalm:

Looks like a Nemesis with a short body tube, and different nose cone

Just a draft.
What I'm shooting for (not with an S&W) is a continuation of the conical cone with the fins. So on a silhouette, the edge of the nosecone continues in a straight line with the fin. No break between the fin and nosecone.
