After lots of measurement converting and small redesigns on the main boat, i can now start on the making of the hulls. I have decided to laser cut small formers that will create the skeleton of the hull. I will then fill in the skeleton with yellow foam so that I will be able to sand it into my required shape. I will then paint on resin to block the pourous yellow foam and create a thick layer so that it can be sanded down and moulded in silicone.
Once the silicone has set I will cast using fastcast and fill and sand to give it a much nicer finish. I can then repeat the moulding stage again so that my nexts casts will be cleaner and smoother.
