As mentioned, I sent the Fusion 360 file of the Bodyshell a few months ago to my friend Yogi-bear located in Australia, like Bormac...
This morning, when I woke up, there was a mail in my mailbox with some pictures... The pictures worth thousand words, and it certainly sounds like an another achievement reached... Obviously, there is still some work, as this will require dimensionnal validation before adjustments, reprint and finition before retrying (need for some filler and sanding, for sure before next attemps)...

Today, I got some pictures from my friend Bormac... He allowed to share them. It was about the Midships bodyshell attempt... I'm quite sure yogi-bear is also awaiting eagerly for this post...
Just a few reminders before the pics : - this is a dimensional test, which means the mould was taken straight out of the printer and the vac forming was done without any additional preparation - the idea to try to do a mould came long after the original bodyshell was sent to Australia, and when I did the model, I had no intentions at all of this sort, which means I paid attention to get the general idea of it without making too much attention to get very close of it (not like all the mechanical parts). Additionally, I made it using plain solid, and this likely did not help at all, because having some limitiations in the exercise... There is some good and some bad. The bas is mainly the front part which is off... At the time I did this model, there is a lot of things I did not know how to do yet. I would do it differently today... The good is that it shows it is possible to do something, and I could do better... There is still some work. Jason told me this is not a fail for him, but on my side, I see where my model is off and that is where I'm unhappy... On the other side, this allowed me to learn so much that it is somehow very good, so it is very positive. The Midships was my second car model, and from there I came a long way, and what you can see it this post is the result of lot of discussions with a few people, and they all participated to make this possible... Thanks to all of them , and specially to yogi-bear who made this possible I buy kits to built and ru(i)n them

I'm not the one who printed the mould. yogi-bear may respond this when he comes around. The fact is that I intended it to be a solid, so it's full : it's not a surface you would thicken with a certain thickness, and the is infill inside...
