so whilst im reading through as many posts and topics as  i can, absorbing as much info as i can, i was wondering what someone would suggest as a good starting project? id like to make a mold from a set of toyota hilux wings that i have, but id rather start small than ruin a set of £600 wings.

If you've done wet lay then mould making shouldn't be a problem for you. As said choose a fairly simple shaped part for starters. Plastic trim parts/covers etc or even house hold items such as bowls, trays etc. Dont choose something too small as small parts can often be more tricky to lay up than larger parts.
