Thank you very much for your kind words!
Both of you were right by the way: I used a 4x9 tapered wingplate for the
lowerside of the nose(so no holes remain on the bottom of the nose) and I
used 1x8 tiles on topof the tapered nose to get the nose effect.
I also made a pulling rod inside the nose to keep it from moving (yes that
rod was seriously difficult to build for it was a half stud connection).
Anyway thanks again for you input, constructive critisism makes me want to
build better stuff.
Greetz,
Jay
