thanks , jou just have to buy some liquid polyster or some epoxy glue or something jou can shape with sand paper when its hard . Then jou take a bottle , saw of the neck,like jou normaly make a nosecone . Then glue in a half pingpong ball at the top and shape with some polyster or epoxy or something like that . when it's dry, sand with some fine sand paper until jou get a smooth surface . Buy some spray paintcans like chrome paint and spray two layers . wait until it's dry and jou get a professional nosecone.
