You wish!

You have been taught well though my young Jedi master.

So this was pretty much how I'd left it...

So next up was to roughly sand the edges back to blend them in a bit more. So I took my newly acquired metal file and went at it...

Obviously you can see where the fibre-glass hadn't quite formed the shape I would have liked and left a few holes, which was kind of to be expected...

But elsewhere it blended in nicely...

My feelings were though that this hole was a little too big and had developed as the contour was too tight...

So I cut out a good portion to then re-apply a layer and re-sculpt it the next time around...

So next layer, but this time I went across the grain and only focused on reinforcing the front edge. I'd also put a small snippet creating a first layer where I'd enlarged the hole previously. (I had sticky fingers so couldn't take a picture.)...

And then trimmed that back before it had gone completely hard...

This was hopefully going to be as much fibre-glassing as I needed to do. It's only a couple of layers, but it feels strong and it is only (hopefully) having air pass through it.

So commence the sanding...

There were a few odd lumps and bumps, which are most obvious from the back... And with a flash

...

But it's smooth, and I'd be dealing with those in the next stage

...

There were still a few gaps around the front edge as well, but again, I can sort that...

So then came the icky sticky stuff, which I've just done tonight. Now this was fiddley! And don't judge it just yet as it looks a mess, but I will obviously be sanding it back, so it will end up as smooth as Ammo's head...

... If I'm lucky...

Any areas I've missed with the filler I'll obviously redo to.

So nearly there now

Because of that... NO!

I did think what Marc said a little strange

Although if I don't include drying times and the time I wasted on making that damn paper template at the start

I've only spent about 5 or so hours on it... I just have long breaks inbetween

Cheers for the comments though guys
