Hi Guys.
Just got a big package from EC, so time to get my hands dirty.
I want to start with this part
I figured the best would do to use the uni-mold system.
I have a plexiglass piece which im planning to use as the work surface.
Then im planning to cut some propylene sheet and use plasticine around the front part
Also since im using twaron and carbon im thinking about filling the profile with plasticine.. but on second thoughts that may not be neccessary
Does this look ok?
Im going to resin infuse it
Any other recommendations?
