I mean I knew it was coming but it still hurt to watch all that work chipped away

The bit that came off in one piece is going to sit up on a wall somewhere in the shop, I've still got chunks from my original Mx5 widebody lying around somewhere. Very tempted to put all the pieces from that smashed one into a box as a jigsaw puzzle for someone haha

@TofuAutoWorks 10 ай бұрын

It's a sign that I'm slowly learning haha. In my early days I definitely would have tried a single piece mould. It's doable, but I know now that trying to get the finished parts out of those shapes really sucks haha

Wow man, blows my mind... youre attention to detail is immaculate .. i only wonder why you sand all your domed parts whith an obrbital sander or a hand block.. most domed spots/parts will come out mutch better by hand.. love your work, just my 2 cents

@evgeni2306 10 ай бұрын

Just a thought - If i'm not mistaken the nitrocellulose thinner coresilin can dissolves foam so it can save you some foam scratching. BUT it can damage paint, lacker etc.

This is a really cool tip, I'll have to give this a try in the future! Thanks!
