I went to a party store to get a tablecloth, and while I was there I looked around for items that could be made into a pushrod shroud. Here's what I came up with:

Test tube shot glasses

These looked promising, and will work, but they're a bit brittle on the band saw. The bell mouth tends to split and shatter. They give a good variety of lengths depending on the angle you cut them at.

A kazoo and a pen

I know it's a party store, but what are they thinking? The last thing I would buy for a mob of kids is a bunch of kazoos.
But when cut at an angle, the kazoo gives a nice oblong shroud, although it's a bit shallow.
The multicolor pen, on the other hand, is just about perfect. Cut right down the middle and it gives you two nice covers. It requires just a bit of sanding to eliminate the small hole in the end. Hopefully it will take paint, I don't want a Batman theme on my plane.
In the past I have used plastic spoons, just cut off the handle and part of the bowl. They tend to be too small.

Hey that kazoo might make a nice NACA duct too if you flip it over and mount it flush to the surface Very Happy

Oops, the picture didn't come through in my previous post, let's try again:

It's a shape of an air intake where you don't need a scoop that would generate drag.
