Here are a few shots of Erich's new Beluga Molds(short run molds) and the first part (joined in the molds) just popped out of the molds.

Super SCHWEET!!
Not to go into any detail but what are your short run molds made from? Fiberglass and tooling gellcoat? BD.

Dave,
I use a single, very thin, layer of tooling resin, and then only a thin 4 layer laminate schedule. It is durable enough for several good layups, but at a fraction of the price of a production mold.

Re: 1/72 Beluga Kit from NewWorldNavy

ron... once i get the master for scribing i will do some precise measurements for you that compensate for the thickness of the glasswork.

Re: 1/72 Beluga Kit from NewWorldNavy

Glass work has no bearing on the OML of the model. The boat is 3.44" in beam and 33.9" long

Re: 1/72 Beluga Kit from NewWorldNavy

was referring to the ID measurements

Re: 1/72 Beluga Kit from NewWorldNavy

Ah...That's easy to answer. The laminate produces a .090" thickness.
