Making bonnet bulge mould
I have heard descriptions how to do this, but I cannot visualise how to actually make the mould. "Make a mould, paint and polish it and lay your
fibreglass in" doesn't really explain it for me. Are their pictures somewhere of the process
My bonnet will have a great hole in it of irregular shape, so it needs to be covered. Raising the nosecone etc is not an option.
Help! Thank you as usual.

its worth a search on youtube. plenty on there about making fibreglass (and carbon fibre)
exactly which videos would be useful for you depends on what you have to start with i guess.
this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVgF9QePV5I
is pretty good i think, but assumes you already have an item you want to repoduce.. there's 3 parts to it.
i've not done any proper fibreglassing myself, so don't know, but since no one else commented, its better than nowt 
edit:
there's 8 parts to this one, seems a bit more in depth

don't write OT on a new thread title, you're creating the topic, everything you write is very much ON topic!

I think I want to know how to make a buck, when there is no example nearby to copy. Bit of a vocabulary problem!

The detail in my thread
HERE
should give you an idea about making a buck/pattern. You just want a much smaller version.

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.
