Hi Guys

So I mocked up a section that I want to fill in where the wheelarch meets the sill. The whole side will then be used as a plug to make a mould.

The problem I now have is that whilst I've a rough shape now of the section in plasticine I really need to sand and fine shape it but can't given it's plasticine. Was thinking of taking a mould of this small section, then making in FG, attaching then sanding and filling the FG piece - but this seems like a lot of hassle.

Are there any tricks I'm missing?

Hmmmm

So tried this, didn't quite go as per theory. I think it was because of not putting up proper barriers around the edges etc and I couldn't get the new part to fit, so just built it all up in filler.

Still a work in progress, need to do all the bodywork then start taking moulds... That'll be fun!

Cheers
