Default RE: Reproducing a canopy for the Blue Angel

Me too! No matter how often I make molds there's always that burning desire to pull the parts and see what it looks like.

3-4 hours to go (added 4 hours to be safe).

Actually on a form like this even if the surface of the mold isn't perfect it's no big deal. One advantage of female mold forms is that surface bubbles make a molded part that has 'pimples'. And that makes it easy to sand them flush easily without losing the overall shape. On male molds bubbles mean lot's of filling before you can sand.

I like instant gratification (in this case anyway).
