    Thanks

    After 5 days of using bondo and (wet)sanding, the lid is perfectly smooth and ready for the next step.
    This weekend I can glue the vents to the lid. The glue is perfect for this job. But first I'll need to cut some acrylic rings. Thes acrylic parts have to fit perfectly into the inside of the vents. Every vent is slightly different so I need a ring thet fits every vent and number them so I will know what ring is for what vent. This is a picture from the airduct, head on. You can see that it looks like a circle from this angle. I used some sticky tape to keep things in place. I only cut the outside of the ring. Before I'll cut out the inner side I need to sand the outside. The ring will be 6 mm. wide so it will be fragile.



    I made 1 paper "arch", there will be made many more for each vent ofcourse, to visualize what I want to do. It will be a lot of work, need 52 acrylic parts for the four vents :eyebrow:

    Yesterday I glued the first two vents to the lid. Some weigt on it to keep it in place.



    Today the last two vents.



    After drying the inside looks like this.



    Turning the lid over to look at the result.



    I think it looks good.



    Now I can glue the sides to the lid and then it will be time to use some bondo again for the finishing touch.

    I'm a slow modder, I always take my time. I had some problems with the polyester part that I wanted to use to fill up the holes in the side of the lid, this part I mean.



    It just wasn't straight enough. That's why I changed plans and made a new polyester part. I used some glass to make a perfect flat polyester sheet. I will cut this sheet in pieces to fill up the side of the lid. It works perfect, but it takes time. After glueing a part I'll have to wait 24 hours for the glue to harden. To make sure the lid keeps absolutely straight I used some wood.



    I cut up the old fibre glass part and used parts of it to attach the sheet to the lid.



    After this I turned the lid upside down and glued the sheet in.



    This is what it looks like now.



    Later on I will have to cut out the openings again, but first I want to close both ends, those triangles. But it takes at least 5 days to glue everything in place. In the meantime I'm searching for all the information I can find about airbrushing.
