Fiberglass

[brainbug007]

I was just wondering if anyone has attempted making their own bodywork? I'd love to give a go and learn how to work with fiberglass but I'm worried about the cost side of being a false economy in that by the time I've messed a few bits up it would have worked out much cheaper to just buy it? any able to give me an idea roughly what sort of quantities of materials you need to make say the scuttle, a wing, an nosecone? the book seems to indicate that the materials are cheap if bought in bulk?
