    Thanks man.

    Ya, that was the original idea, and this suppose to be a prototype, but... it will probably never happen. I even struggle a lot with manufacturing Tenuis. Not enough time, resources, end other excuses... :D

    News about this ECS modmen 2003... sorry 2013 competition. B2 didn't even make it to second round (top 10) :D... oh well :D

    Anyway, here is how side panels were made:


    First is the model/plug and I usually start with piece of extruded styrofoam, to get a rough shape

    than few layers of body filler and a lot of sanding to get as close to shape needed. towards the end of this process I spay it with primers of different colors to better see my high/low spots when sanding.

    [​IMG]

    finally, last layer of primer and glossy black to get smooth finish.

    next is a mould. plug gets anti-stick treatment (chemical release agent and wax), than a couple of layers of gel coat and glass reinforcement

    [​IMG].

    Once mould was fully cured I removed (butchered out :) ) the plug and used it to make an actual part. unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the actual process of laminating :/

    [​IMG]

    but, here is the second side panel after removed from a mould and trimmed. a bit messy as I used a lot of wax, but usable.
