I love that! Really cool project... I'm curious, what was the process you used for making the hood and tail?

the tail is made from bass wood and the hood and arm guard are made with 1\2 pound fiberglass. I made the molds from basswood then wrapped them in packaging tape so the resin wouldn't stick to the mold. The hood took a few tries and I even made a couple attempts at a wrap around hood but i wasn't having much luck. The nose piece took some real patience and ingenuity as well. I will post some pics soon.

Thanks for sharing! That's really interesting to me. I never suspected fiberglass.
