This will be my fourth Dalek build.
I started a few weeks ago so have made a bit of progress.
I made molds of most of the main parts from my second build so most of this one is fiberglass.
Unfortunately my molds were not in the best of shape, they were one of my first attempts at molding and were probably a bit on the thin side. I remade my dome and cowl molds and started to repair my other ones.
I started by filling the cracks in the gel coat with body filler, then sanding and waxing with mold release wax. Put about 6 coats on.
I then layed up the resin
The shoulder section came out with a few holes in. It had pulled most of the repair work out of the molds.
Next up was the fender. This came out ok. Just needs a little trimming.
Next up was the skirt section. Again the mold needed a little repair work. Not as much as the shoulder section though.
Came out ok
Layed up the fiber in the dome mold and cowl.
I have some more done and will try and get the pictures uploaded later.
