Now to the nose and the two things. I have no idea what they are. They look like guns but we know the ship never had any of them. Well this is the start using a drill bit.

Going through my drill sizes I open the hole a bit at a time

These are the covers for the hole. I made 3 and will chose the 2 that are the most similar in size and shape

The parts are glued on with clear glue that is similar to white glue. This allows for some positioning of the item unlike CA type glues

Both done but some trimming needed and cleanup of excess glue before it dries hard
