Actually I'll not own it. We created an association around this project so the ones that will own it will be the members and all the people that worked on it and spend a little time/money to get it ended.
I'm doing it (for the fans and) first because it's really interesting. Let's see if I can rebuild it completely ! After it'll be finished we'll travel with it so you'll not own it but maybe you'll see it.
For the girlfriend, I had one once. :lol I don't think making such a big project is a problem for a couple as long as you're not forgetting the existence of your partner. If you can explain what you're doing and why it is important for you then it should be understandable.

Now technically :
I had some trouble with my casts, it takes bad shapes (not easy to see, but it's there) because the silicon mold doesn't fit exactly in his resin shell. I'll try to add weight on the entire surface after my two first layers of gel coat will be no more sticky and let it cure for a week. After that I'll do the last two layers to finish the cast. It sould be fine.
For the parts I already done, I can reshape it heating them. So I have one question for you all. I'm working with polyester, but the Gate will stay under the sun for a long time in many occasions. Is there any paint that can prevent it to be too much heated so it wouldn't take bad shapes ? Maybe I should use polyurethan instead of polyester.
