JDM Style Tail Lights

[Noddle]

I have made some progress into making the center light,

it turned out pretty good I think.

also started on one half of the mould for the inner tail / break light.

I'm one step close to getting my JDM style tail lights,

I'll do some more on the inner brake / tail light tomorrow if I get a chance.

Bitchin work on this one..Your patience is awesome!

A little more progress,

the mould martial I used this time is a little more flexible than the stuff I used for the reverse light, so I decided to add a hard backing, made out of resin to stop it from deforming once it's finished.

once this drys, I'll work on the other half

Ah very good stuff. Thanks for putting in on this Nigel. Cant wait to see some red!!!

.... so I decided to add a hard backing, made out of resin to stop it from deforming once it's finished.....

Small problem, the resin once hardened, shrank about 4mm across, this deformed the RTV mould, it was not sitting flat,

I'll make a different backing, and see if that fixes the issue..

live and learn...

A little more progress,

don't forget to use a release agent between the two halves, I have some silicon car stuff, it's used to makes plastic shiny. it worked ok on the other mould I made.
