Setting up the cutting lines



Removed some material of the rear of a stock armrest to do another mockup
Although not intended, this would work too

But the idea still is to use the new armrest cover piece

The cutout could be shaped different ways.....still need to play with that

A sort of translation of how I look at it

Thanks...but it doesnt come easy...
I finished and polished the subwoofer housing and waxed it to take a 3 part mold:


setting up for the first piece



And I forgot the combo of Motip paint, wax and resin will make it a mess....



Looks pretty bad eh? But its fixable..So far I got the molds mostly cleaned up with some carefull use of paint stripper...the subwoofer needs new finish lol...but Ive "been there, done that" before..it will be easier now

Now that you have a mold, does this mean that you could be talked into making more for sale?

Not yet......for now I keep it as a backup.
Maybe in the future when the interior is finished...

I have a question (excuse me if the answere is not bovious to me). If you are not sure that you plan on selling copies of your work, why are you maling molds of everything? Is it so if you need to replace any part, you have the mold to do so?

Thanks and good work.

He's going to sell me the molds and I'm going to be rich
I have been contemplating a new front bumper, its going to look a lot like the one in this thread. Inspiration is a good thing. Once I get some more pictures I will post a prototype for your approval. Then you can make it for me
