From your pictures, you have made the hull from board of some kind and screwed it together.

(I see reading the posts you are using half inch sintra, I have never heard of this what is it?)

Cheers,

Jase.

Hi, Sintra is a foamed PVC sheet. Its what the studio used. It easy to work with and glues easy. It easily countersinks the screws. Its great stuff, better and lighter than acrylic.

Looks like great stuff-I know its not as strong as acrylic but would you say its close?

 

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

The strength is very close, but weighs about half of what acyrlic would weigh. I reinforced everything on it. So should be plenty strong.

So Sentra us a brand name for foam board? It just doesn't seem like it would be strong enough. Doesn't it bend easy?

Looking killer amigo. Will this beast have lights and such?

 

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

It is very strong, the studio used it for the betty. I reinforced it. There should be no problems.

 

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]
