Yes, your work is very impressive. The shop in the background of these latest photos hints at some involvement with sculpture, which would be a confidence builder. Even so, those clamshell shapes are a complex and sophisticated 3D shape, and your work looks excellent. They are quite an accomplishment.

Evening everybody, it's been a while since my last post so I thought I'd give you all an update.

Thought I'd start on the trans tunnel cover.

Start off by making a foam pattern then moulding it.I then produced a wax from the mould and got it cast at work, then a lot of sanding later got the metalwork finished just need to make some gaiters the handbrake and gear lever.

Thanks twin turbo. Trying to make the most of the lock down and get a good bit done.

Amazing work. I would say it's inspiring, but i'm just off to the garage to start chopping my car up with the hacksaw....
