Pictures tell more than my basic english. :roll:
Last part of making the mold.

Image

Inner core was cast with resin.

Image

Thats how it looks when its pulled out of the mold.

Image

Take a closer look into the silicone mold.

Image

Image

Think its looking really good.I am happy with it.

Image

Thats how the inner core look like.Ugly and rough.But at the end i will invest some time for smoothing it.

Image

Cut the rear end of and sanding the cut.

Image

Here is my guidance( dont know how to say "schwalbenschwanz-führung" in english) for both parts.

Image

Image

Ready for casting now.

Image

Thats it.Have to wait until its hard and than i start with smoothing the inner core.

Great job Christian, i guess the 2 parted core is the only solution which works, with your connecting system it will be easy to cast and remove these parts, keep posting how it works! :)

First body was cast today.

Image

The inner core was sanded a bit.Not too much,just right for casting.

Image

First step is to lay the smaller part into to mold and than the bigger one.I secured it with the screws.

Image

Just made the first body.I needed 600g Resin for it and hope all smaller parts are filled with resin without big air bubble.
Need to cure until tomorrow now.Its saver when its getting hard overnight to avoid bending.

worked very well and i am happy with the result.No big air bubbles.Looking very good.
Only i have to be careful when i remove the inner core.The part from the roof to the rear wing is broken.But i will use a different way the next time.Should work better with more care.
