Ryan, that's pretty much how my brother and I did our bodyshell. The plaster went on over MDF, foam and countless other things used to bulk out the stations, so the underlying material was not nearly as pretty as Des' workmanship.

One drawback we found with the plaster was that there was in fact heaps of sanding. This arose mainly from working to get the compound curves exactly as we wanted, and ensuring they were exactly the same from left to right.

Despite this we were happy using plaster because it is quite workable (we couldn't easily find a suitable clay to use in Perth), but you can't use power tools to sand it as the motors get clogged with the dust. So, it's hand sanding all the way...

I think that no matter what method you use to skin a car, it's a lot of work.

Des, i'm curious too. What are you going to do?
