Test 1, Filled with expandable foam.
All pieces cut out (14 pieces x 9...) and edges are sanded straight and rounded.
Held with tape, can be flipped and put in clay support.
A bead of liquid nails keeps the fibreglass resin from leaking through and marring the surface.
Fiberglass is applied and dried, reinforcing the angles and structural strength..
Outside is sanded flat, joints are filled with filler, cured and then re sanded.
I am now testing paints and surfaces.
Next the pieces will need mounting, tessellating, joining and reflective aluminum added.
Despite losing the original 3d model and plans it seems to be progressing well.
I have 6 at painting stage, not bad for 6 days, Fiberglass takes altogether too long to set.
