Making my own bodywork

[squbti]

Hi all, just wanted to share some photos of the progress on my bodywork so far.I wanted to give making the bodywork a go & its going better than i expected , i havent worked with composites before but i have some good friends who gave me some pointers & i have realy enjoyed this alot. I have used plywood, PU foam, plaster & some divinicell i got for free from a local company that builds boats & then i just made the shapes of the scuttle & nosecone by looking at it from the front,side & top & when i was happy with the shapes i just put it all together & let the artist within me out . hope this helps anyone thinking of giving it a go.

I'll second that one Kev.

Something I would love to have a crack at but after the complaints I recieved from my neighbours when I put a GRP sealed deck in my boat, it just wouldn't be worth the hastle

Personaly, I quite like the smell of polyester resin .... But then, I am a bit weird like that

Well done Sammy
