This convinces me I don't want to do a full body-plug! Soooo much work and so many hours. I don't know if I could last. Alan, hats off
to you for your persistance!

Cheers Guys,
It's been a looooooooooooong drawn out job, but ultimately worth it (I hope...)
I still have the bonnet (hood) to do but that should be a piece of cake by comparison.
I'm working on some creative ideas for the light mounting, which I'll share for feedback soon.
Happy days..

Good stuff Alan. Looking forward to seeing the finished body.
I've got to take my hat off to anyone doing their own body moulds. This was the main reason for stopping my own project. I just have too many
other things going on to dedicate the huge amount of time making moulds. It would have taken me 10 years to finish the project. I am a patient person
but that kind of timescale is too long for me.

Hey Alan, that's looking like a car body! Awesome job!
Do you have an estimate on the final weight of it?
