Ive got a idea

When ge/ingredients ready to pour nose cap why not make darn bordering the outline you've carved with the two part clay like putty that sets up in a few minutes like a rock.

If a guy was pretty precise you could make a 2 piecempld. Then when ready set the mold in place wrap with index card ,,tape very well with duct tape and pour.

I did some training as a sculptor once, many moons ago. What you are suggesting should work fine. Good indexing is the key.

I'm probably going to try it. I will post with results.

When,,ready to pour nose cap why not,,

Just shared insight here,,
You've made multiple posts across the board with questions of pouring a cap.
That's a good thing, your doing research and I can see that you want to get it right.
A suggestion,(?)
Make a practice piece out of scrap wood, a chunk of 2x2 pine, whittle it down to a basic shape and try a pour,, you can always salvage the material and re-melt it for another try,,
It's actually pretty easy, methods that are "tried and true" have been shared here for decades and available on the net.
Substituting material is Ok too..
My point is,, you don't have too, or shouldn't have too, try it the for first time on your finished project
Experimenting with scrap is good.
With straight lines made in the wood, and an "over-pour" of the metal,, it's easy to bring the cast down to the wood with rasps/files/sand paper
Good Luck, Honest,,

Nechi is right. I just assumed you had made the pattern first.
