thank you all for the kind words !! sorry there wasn't much progress until now haha the fabric side has taken all my time this week !

the smoothing process is a good way through on the master faceplate and i;ve started smoothing this V3 dome:

next up sand it down cover in knifing putty sand and repeat a few times then i'll bond the flair and the upper as one part

getting there !!

and two hours later the bond is complete !!

some very minor cleanup on some bleed on the back and i micro-filed the grove back on areas where the epoxy backspilled


tomorrow i will give it another all over light sand with 1200 grit and then re filler prime and repeat:

aiming to have the faceplate bonded before the weekend



On the small greebles on the cheeks I'm still considering the best way to cast i think i will cold cast as a separate mold for the 4 cheek detail parts
