Crisp vac-forming (are you doing your buck with the foam)...maybe that's why.  |

Joberg, yes i vac formed right over the foam and used the plug to make the final pattern. im going to mold it next.
I started on the engine arm that supports the engine to the main body. roughed out, needs some bondo and primer.
Thanks for looking.
