The rubber is about 1/2" at the top, a bit thicker at the sides. I agree the paint looks a bit too "green". Lighter and maybe a bit yellower would be better.

Getting on with the bottom hull halves.
Thos is the lower right half in the moulding frame.
And post gloop. The gloop in question is a two part silicon rubber with a thickening agent. Once it goes off I'll add some structural support and fibreglass to create the lower right mould. I'm in for some fun later on however, because I FORGOT TO SPRAY THE BLOODY THING WITH RELEASE AGENT!!! The silicon will part with the plug and the other bits and pieces but it will stick to the silicon in the upper mould like **** to a blanket.Comment

No sweat, use a very sharp knive to follow the lines from your topmold, offcourse before you start to reinforce the lower mold, happened to me with making my divingplanes from the V80 , simply used a knive, it saved me making another mold.

Just out of the moulds.
All the detail is there and they came out pretty well. I did some practice first using the old Losos moulds before doing the left and right hull halves.
I'm going to join those up this afternoon and have a go at moulding in some SD saddles in the process.Comment
