Foam party

Fooled me twice. I tried to use expanding foam to fill the voids in my seat mold, but it just doesn't get hard enough, so now I've torn it all out and have to do it the right way.
With the core of the squishy foam gone I still have to fill the voids so that the mold material wont get sucked into them. I'm going to have to glue blocks onto it.
which means all the glue spots have to be sanded flat
like so

Laminating resin, good stuff, looks like cherry pie filling, smells like ammonia
Seat, abstract, sculpture
Now we wait... and hope it doesn't fall over.

SixtyNines' seat

I've been working with a friend to get the fairing for SixtyNine worked out...

...and I managed to come up with a seat that I like

This last few days I've been working on the mold for it
With this MDF base I will hopefully be able to make a nice clean mold.
But it will take a lot of primer to get it all nice and smooth.
more primer
Filling in the holes to help with the molding process. I could've machined a new one without the underside detail, but that would've been a waste of materials.
