Hi,

I finally got around to creating a mould for 1/10 scale touring car, so I thought I would share with you helpful people

I had a brand new body shell left over from me racing days.
This new body shell was the perfect candidate to take a mould from, and I also had quite a bit of Easy Composites Uni Mould System left over from a previous project

So I had all the necessary goodies to create a 1/10 body shell mould!

And some spare time to make a mould and video with some royalty free music, good times

• Easy Leased the table 2 coats
• Easy Leased the body shell 3 coats
• Uni-Mould Tooling Gelcoat 3 medium coats
• Uni-Mould Coupling Coat (100g Chopped Strand Mat)
• Uni-Mould Tooling Resin (450g Chopped Strand Mat)
• Lots of gloves and plastic cups

Here is a video showing the making of the mould.

Thanks Matthieu,

First product was a success, bar a few issues mainly caused by the infusion stalling due to not enough infusion mesh between input/output infusion lines.
Everyday is a school day

Stack is 3 x Carbon Twaron 200g 2/2 Twill
http://easycomposites.co.uk/products/carbon-fibre-cloth-fabric/carbon-black-twaron-hybrid-1m.aspx

Also the product was very hard to pull from the mould mainly due to the design and curves of the car.

Fresh from the mould.

Looking good

Bit of bridging on the left corner also infusion stalled and left some bubbles, nothing that cannot be filled with resin and sanded back.

Small bubble on front wheel arch, and some sanding ...

First fitment on car, now for a lot of fettling.


Next

1. Fit body shell to car cut out wheel arches.
2. Sandback in preperation for clear coat
3. 2K clear coat
4. Sandback
   
5. Build spolier and apply stickers
6. 2K clear coat
7. Polish
   
8. Take "The Destroyer" for a race at West London RC
   

Very impressed with how compliant the material was in the corners no cuts! the material just stacked up in the corners with some gentle persuasion
