it will also be difficult to mold the bottom of the bodywork at the front
Hi Jack

Yes, I have been thinking about that. The whole plug is built on a board fastened to the substantial build table, and I dont think it is practicle to turn the whole thing. I think that once I have molded the upper panels I will cut bodily through the pattern and summon a bunch of mates to turn just the front section over, so I can then finish the lower surface.

If I cut at the scuttle to front panel seam, I can then also finish the front face of the scuttle panel to add the detail of the return that the nose closes onto, and also the bits of the front inner wheel arches that are in the scuttle panel.

WRT the underside faces of the wheel arches, I will have to just battle on, maybe making something to hold the glass up into position as the resin goes off?

Cheers
