So, Andy, would you recommend a single mold route with filler ant paint for a DIY one-off? I was entertaining thoughts of doing the proper two mold nosecone and scuttle, making it for myself and then maybe for some lads locally, but it is so much hassle, perhaps a one-mold process is more rational.
