Update
wetsanded the moulded halfs working through the grades from 320-1200g and lots of polishing to a shine
All thats left to do now is a good clean down and start the coats of release wax ready for making the 1st moulded hull

1st attempt at moulding 1 of my designs
Here we go bit the bullet and layed up the 1st topdeck and trimmed ready for experimental join
couple of bristles and bloody wind blew some small particles into the lay up but this 1 is just practise to see how it goes and also break the moulds in
The lower is layed up just waiting for it to cure abit more before trimming the edges
Hopefully join the 2 halves either later today of tomorrow then leave in the moulds for a couple of days before seeing the 1st ever hull iv moulded

The 1st out the moulds
abit premature but its a practise 1 and a thin layup to break the moulds in but as you see it its straight out the moulds so not come out too bad at all

Just been playing around it
theres alot of ways this hull can be run
I placed in 7.5cc nitro engine but could even fit a 10cc
24oz fuel tank fits in the sponsons nicely aswell


couple of it floating LOL



Even inboard FE
Motor used is a leopard 4074,gives you some idea how much room there actually is
single setup

or twin setup


and the twin OB off course either FE or Nitro that it was designed for no pic of them yet as only have 1 LOL

Looking very very good

how many layers of glass to make the mould and what weight of matting do you use ?

i fancy having a go at moulding myself but have never got round to it.

ive got 5 metres of 450 gsm sitting in the garage just waiting for some thing to make  ha ha
