Hallo guys,

today I've finished the thermoforming-mould of an Williams FW14. I found the original body from the early 90s in a small shop in Vienna. I did not want to waste this special body on the track so I made the following mould:

sldmodels: The problem is that this is a copy of a kyosho body and I don't want to get any problems by givin it away to third persons.

No probs on that. Think you're ok doing for yourself or giving them away free, but it can be a grey area.

What material did you use for the mould? I'm making one too from scratch

hallo guys,

the form is made out of a special plaster from a crafting store. I don't know the brand, cause there is nothing left.
