I think you should look at how easy it is to lay up FG, some of those shapes I feel would present you with real problems when it came to laying up and releasing from moulds.

Thanks for the kind feedback :)

Yea i see what your saying jammy, i have done some testing and some of them worked out fine, but some were hard to remove without damaging them. I guess if i do have problems with it relising then i will have to modify the mould so that it will be able to come off.

You've already decided on 4, the extra effort gives it away :)

All part of the game now that they teach kids how to be creative ??? There are rules you have to follow to come up with an original idea you know!

Did you do a mood board Mini=love? :D

I spent most of my lectures scribbling in notepads.

I have about 12 pages of written notes and about 4 folders of interior ideas :)

hehe I thought that :lol: :dontgetit:

Number 6 reminds me of the KA dash, easily one of the funkiest dashboards out there! But I'm liking number four, mainly because it looks more planned out and you've obviously spent more time on it!
