Small update today, camera battery died so this was all i was able to get.
Started on the vac part that goes behind the cone. got the edges nice and sharp. still have to chop the other pull to sit on top of this one to give it the layered effect and scribe panel lines. the little black marks on the plastic are pencil marks, i run the pencil over the part then sand with some 320 to see any low spots. its a quick and cheap way to guide coat it to find flaws.
Will have the main cargo box molded and should have the parts mounted by next weekend. should have enough silicone to also mould the rear part, but we will see. more soon.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks guys. glad your liking the build.
Got the first Cargo box out of the mold, looks great. will have another for Saturday and should have that vac part done also.
Next up Vac forming the big cone over the cockpit. and piecing that together.
