That's bad luck Mark , the first one looks great and for running not shelving it's perfect , some of the cheap tires I ran in the 80s had no better finish , you could use one of the failures to try painting a light coat of resin on the outside and curing it to remove blemishes .

very frustrating , if your thinking of changing the FEP you might consider NFEP , its gets its name from NOT FEP , its what most people are now recommending as a better material than traditional FEP , I switched to it recently but other than it seems to work just fine so far I can't tell you much mo...

Finished the rear body hole patch , it's not perfect but as it's going to be glued and filled before paint it will be fine .

Rear body mount patch is epoxied in , filled and sanded , next will be the holes in the front bonnet , not going to do anything technical there just glue a plate in behind and then fill the holes .

Preliminary side pod design , going to print one and see how it looks .

I'm dry on ideas side right now... Time to unfill the VAT more intelligently than last week... https://i.imgur.com/NigLXvz.jpg I'm getting better at this... I may need to find a bigger funnel and filter to make this even more efficiently (trying to do things, you get better and better every time, t...

Dead chuffed , nailed the side pod first time , well almost , I was a little conservative and kept it further back under the body than needed by a couple of mm , in these pictures I've used three layers of servo tape to secure it , I'd always planned on servo tape but only the one layer . 20230423_1...

A bit of sanding and priming , needs a little more work but getting there .
