Scratch Honest John

I'm thinking about building a Honest John from scratch. My first rocket was a Estes Honest John back in 1973. I have all the parts except the nose. Do you guys have any suggestions
on where to find the nose cone?

Semroc has a "flared ogive" in a couple of different sizes that might be intended for an Honest John. Take a look at this http://www.semroc.com/Store/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct@5 one and see what you think. If you like it you should check out the other sizes in their catalog as well...

There are two different noses available from Balsa Machining Service, both BT-50 and BT-55 sized. In addition, Thustline Aerospace sells "parts packs" to allow you to clone the Estes BT-50 and BT-55 based kits:
