How did you make the original pattern shape?

It is "clear coated" with Hawkeye's Sunshield gel coat. And the original pattern was made by the following method:

1.) Bonded sheets of housing insulation sheathing together to form large shapeable foam blocks

2.) Each block was carved into individual shapes that formed the whole (center section, sides, back, etc.)

3.) The individual parts were bonded together

4.) Then the whole part was covered in fiberglass using epoxy resin

5.) I then used automotive body filler to perfect all of the surfaces and cleanly transition all of the surfaces

6.) Lastly, I used a grey surface primer from Hawkeye as well and polished it to a high gloss finish
