Re: PC800: Making new wingmirrors

Oh yes, give anything heavier than me a very wide birth :)

I did think about the 3D printer thing, I need to find someone with a 3D scanner though... To tell the truth, I spent the final day of my holidays with a rotating stool, a digital camera and a piece of free software trying to make a viable 3D model... I have got somthing, but not accurate enough. For my next trick, I will try "Pepakura" (japanese papercraft, originally used for making 3D paper models of manga characters from printed, cut and folded card). There is a way of laminating and glassing the paper to make hard shapes, so I'm going to give this a go too...

Once I have a compatible model, you cut out along the lines on the paper, glue together, then use this as a base for covering in resin and glass, then paint... but more on that this week when I get some designs working. It's started to snow here again in France, so back to warm inside work until I earn enough to rent a proper workshop!

Cheers,
Daniel
