Hi

This is my first attempt with composites and my experience is very limited. I have made my best at researching this topic but though a request for help might be needed.

I have a 40x30x10cm part that I have cut out from foam. I have sanded this, painted, waxed and polished etc this so now I have a perfect model of what I want to make. 
My plan is to coat the foam part entirely is fibreglass and let it cure. Cut the fibreglass in half with a dremmel cutter then use my 2 halves as a mold to fill with Vac cast epoxy casting resin to create resin casts of the original.

I will then use my 2 casts as my template for vacuum forming.

Is this method completely flawed? 

Any help desperately needed. 

Thanks in advance
