Hey all, I am skinning the 25% scale proof of concept prototype of a design of mine, and at a point where I need to be thinking about finishing!
This model, as a simultaneous dress rehearsal / laboratory for moldless fabrication, is made with known foam/glass/epoxy matrix. It is unorthodox by "Giant Scale" construction standards, but it has been a great learning experience so far, and alot of fun! Ultimately, this will fly as a dynamically scaled model to verify the results of our simulations, giving us the final vote of confidence to complete the full scale (2 seat) design and get to work building it!
Anyways, I can't seem to find a flexible sanding block anywhere around my area, and given the compound curving that ultimately defines the unique shape of this beast, I need one.
Any ideas out there? I found a stiff 12" sponge mop head for starters...
I am open to ideas!
In the meanwhile, here are some pics from the project to date:
