Looking gud buddy ,starting to take shape now is that all the panels bonded on now alex just the prep for paint ? ,jd

Everything but the roof skin, need to weld some plates in at the rear to support the edge nearest the engine cover, and to give me something for the filler to go onto

I wouldn't charge you, that would be silly..  I would need to buy a 0.5mm end mill as the smallest I have is 1.5mm. When I try and cut it in the software you lose all the detail. So I've tried it with a 0.5 and it seems ok (attached).  I'm unsure however if my cnc would be that accurate + the new endmill would come from HongKong so would take a few weeks to get here as it's the cheapest.. but I can't promise what the result would be.

The line in the middle is 1mm in depth and the material is 3mm.

no worries, I've ordered some 0.5mm end mills (pk5 for £8). When they arrive I've cut some out. :-)

Today I started on the filler pieces of metalwork on the engine cover bay, to give me something to fill against, and for more support for the rear roof line
