WIP Modeling Carbon Fibre Mirror
hey mates,
I know this is sketching forum, but i'd like to share this with you!! I made a carbon fibre mirror these two weeks at my work. It's not really work but I have to work for experience for school. I work in a company where they make carbon fibre parts for race cars and stuff... I'd like to show you how the modeling works. So I made pics while I was working on it. Here they are : 1. I started with some plates of foam.  2. then I made it smove.  3. I made it shiny. Now the 'plug' is finished. This is the final product, but then massive.  4. Now I started making a negative to make the final product in. I laminated the negative over the plug.  5. Now I polished the negative.  6. Finally I laminated the carbon fibre and glass fibre into the negative.  7. And here we have the final product. I only have to make a mirror inside of it.  If it's finished it have to fit on a Fiat Punto Abarth Rally like this one  I hope you enjoyed the pics!! If you have comments or questions i'd like to hear it!!

Re: WIP Modeling Carbon Fibre Mirror
Cool! Where do you work? And if you fail your licence test, you can fit the mirror on my car.
