Looking good! Did you make the fins different widths, or are you going for a more stylized look?

Looking great so far!
I’ve done several of these wood scratch builds and you are right, they are very time consuming. My last one I had an easy 50hours into and that’s after having the process down pretty well and doing a couple custom things. I was kinda going for a post GB video game kinda look…

As you put more time into this, I’m wondering if you might re-think the vacu-forming in lieu of fiberglass? I believe you will be unhappy with the softness of the lines you get with vaccuform, especially with the work you are going to put in to get it right. SO… you might want to put the extra work into smoothing out all the unwanted texture now and save yourself the work later. Just a thought.
