RE: F2G Corsair Build Sneak Peak!!!
Decided to do the cowl, I can't decide if I should make a fiberglass mold so I can make more later? Or if I should just glass this thing and clean the foam out? If I damage the cowl having a mold would be nice. I just spun some foam on my drill press. I made the whole thing rounded as the bottom is, then I just went over the top where it's supposed to be flat with some sandpaper. The cowl flaps will be added later.
Go ahead and pick it apart, feedback good or bad is always helpful! Things like this are hard to carve and get perfect.

Cowl is looking pretty good now. This foam sands so nice, all you need is some plywood on the back and protect the front cowl ring with some masking tape. Then with an aluminum sanding block it will sand out nice.
Fist is the side view, although not a perfect side view you can see that the top is flat and the bottom has the bow in it.
Next is top view, notice how the sides are flat.
In the last picture you can see the flat top and the bow in the bottom, also you can see the front cowl lip and it's shape.
