You aren’t going to want any kind of flutes or anything on the shaft of this thing. Expect it to get clogged real fast. Glass smooth stainless 4130, or smoother is preferable. Polish it with newspaper, and then polish it again with RainX. An old torpedo tube would work better as it can probably be had in some form or another off the shelf.

We still must come up with a way to shed meltwater and sludge at the front of the nose.  This means an intenal conduit THROUGH the model, or flutings on the sides.

But, perhaps we should come up with a simple, unfluted, glass smooth model, as you suggest, and test it, in the Joe Latrell manner.  If it doesn't work, we return to the drawing board.
