I'm in total shock, the Cast Entex doors ( I was very Kindly sent) just arrived and I've placed my Vac formed and cut door pulls over them to see how off I was!!!
Now I thought it might be close ish, but never expected this.....Maybe I'm getting a better eye than even I could hope for, better not loose my glasses. I'm really chuffed with myself considering I'd never seen a set of Entex doors in the flesh and only had the ref pics to work with.

Thaks Lee mate. I think I'm going to go the whole hog and finnish them, then make my mind up. Seems a shame to go this far and stop. funny thing is I now feel like a cheat as I have the castings to work from :lol

Cheers all, I guess I'm a Jammy Genius Simon lol:lol
I know there are ways of using vector files and software to map this kinda stuff out but knowing it was all done by eye alone has really given me a boost re building stuff.
Stu, the secret is Oakley Frames mate :lol
I know this really isn't that much to some and lets face it making the bloody hulls in the first place is a work of art but for my second ever go at Vac Formin, well even I cant say farer than that as a result.
Phil, dont forget the curry also, tika masala makes great rust, and the odd crescent moon mate.
I think you should get the hulls, seriously be great to have 2 slaves on the go 45min apart from each other and I can come n copy what you do :lol, now that would be ace

You dare waste the Masala and curry on a model shame on you Guy!
My mothers side are all from Jamaica.......so what curry blend are you
using.........or do you make up your own! LOL LOL:lol
Home made curry Mike, not a chance it would be the last thing anyone would eat. I can make you a great cup of tea though :lol
Been Wing fiddlin tonight and it looks like there may be quite a bit of shrinkage on the cast Entex Doors, thats not a moan, they are extremely well cast but the BT46 part across the top of them just wont line up with the handle unless I trim the Bt46 part. My lense has died on my Camera so cant show what I mean at the moment. Its not a biggy as I will still try n scratch my own but it has got me head scratching at what to do.
They really are well cast Doors though.
