Start with wheelpants. they are fairly small and the dollar investment is low. After that move on to simple cowlings and then more complex cowlings. If you have success with tose items than you are ready for fuselages. Make a fuselage plug from a popular kit. You might be able to sell some and recupe your loses to date.

I never use heat. All my work is done in my house and is a room temperature cure.

The foregoing is a generalisation and subject to many other suggestions.

The one thing I advocate and will not argue about is always use high quality epoxy resin and never use polyester.

The picture shows the progression, Wheel p[ants, cowlings, fuselage sides.

The other picture shows the finished wheelpants.

Good Luck.
