Cleaned up head piece
White radiator paint acting as a primer on test piece, this allows me to see how the scratches may show up through the paint finish
Gold fabric samples, the next stage would be to see which takes to black paint detail better
Hammerite paint test on first cast piece. According to the tin, I should try layering up several thin coats and avoid it from running as shown here.
De-moulded piece, aside from the chip at the front I am very pleased with how this came out as most of the excess
car body swill was easy to break off and sand back with sand paper. For thicker areas and to smooth the inside surface of fibreglass tissue, I used a sanding fixture in a electric
dremmel.
