Once you have the set up (vacuum forming table etc...) it would only cost the price of the lexan.ddt wrote:Once u have a plug mould, approx how much does it cost to make a shell?
I have done a fibreglassing/plastics course, so I know exactly what is needed and how to do it, I'd just have to set myself up to do it.
I suppose it would work?ddt wrote:Could u start with say a block of body filler that was set into a plastic tray or something?
The difficulty would be carving it down and keeping the shape correct.
If using body filler, I think a solid mass of it would end up being an expensive way to do it. I'd probably get near the shape needed using wood or something similar, and then apply body filler to it to build it up. That way you wouldn't have to remove so much.
