The bit that came off in one piece is going to sit up on a wall somewhere in the shop, I've still got chunks from my original Mx5 widebody lying around somewhere. Very tempted to put all the pieces from that smashed one into a box as a jigsaw puzzle for someone haha

When you smash the parts im feel heart breaking and tears , because that is 3 months art of handcraft perfect work 😅😢❤
Your work is very thorough! Be careful of the glass thorns. From Japan.
Seeing those finished and polished molds must have been so satisfying after all those months of work. They were sure satisfying to see in this video!!
its so satisfying seeing how nice those molds came out and finally getting all that body filler off the stagea. Awesome vid!
Another great Sunday morning ☕😎

Ahhhh, I was wondering what approach you were gonna take to the door shut area! Multi part mould makes a lot of sense.

It's a sign that I'm slowly learning haha. In my early days I definitely would have tried a single piece mould. It's doable, but I know now that trying to get the finished parts out of those shapes really sucks haha
I think it's a great job. I'm rooting for you from Japan.
Joooo new tofu video Best meals when I'm watching your art Greetings from germany
One of my favourite sanding channels
Not sure what I'm more excited for. To see the finished project on those wideboi Kiwami's, or to buy a kit for my own NM35.

Love seeing a new video drop. As I mentioned before, I've been there/done that with FRP buck and mold making. Really enjoyable to watch you work and can't wait to see the final result (as I am SURE you are, too).
favourite youtube channel by far
It's so special to see the remove of the hard work on this kit, nice job as always!
New sub here. Always loved these cars. This is a pleasure to watch. No waffle or BS, just straight to the point.
Massive binge watching session today. Unreal progress. Can't wait to see more videos
The awesomeness continues.

Удивительное терпение. Плюс, недоумеваю с того, что почти всё время идут дожди- значит влажность, а открытый металл обрезанной задней арки, который три недели был под слепком формы расширителя, не имеет даже и намёка на ржавчину.
Legendary. Literally showing how it's done. When you hung the parts-car rear door, the Stagea gave me ProBox vibes. Meh, I'm weird. Dude, sweet-arse-vid

ever consider using compressed air to release moulds? i've seen some guys do that

Just a thought - If i'm not mistaken the nitrocellulose thinner coresilin can dissolves foam so it can save you some foam scratching. BUT it can damage paint, lacker etc.

毎回、丁寧で素晴らしい作業工程に見惚れております。 下地が全てを決めますが、ここまでメス型を丁寧に作成されるとは恐れ入ります。 12:39の角や段差にフィラーミックスを入れておられますが、私はグラスロープを入れて段差を少なくしております。 フィラーミックスでもクラックは入り難いでしょうか?
@TofuAutoWorks
7 ай бұрын
ありがとう! フィラーミックスなら、薄く塗る限り割れることはない。厚く塗りすぎると、固まったときに収縮してモールドに影響します。 ビデオではフィラーをたくさん塗っているように見えますが、気泡を取り除くためにローラーを使うと、フィラーも広がって薄くなります。

Correct. In Ep 19 I went over the scanning, and started 3D printing. Once the other side has been printed I'll fit it to the car and make the matching moulds for that side.
