next step was to add pouring sprues to the cowl. These are the gaps to pour resin into the mold. Hopefully these will do the trick of getting the resin to form the cowl in the mold. The smaller sprue on top of the windscreen is to try and prevent air pockets forming in the windscreen frame during pouring. This will be cut off once the part is demolded.

This will be a two piece mold so next step is to set up the mold box and use clay to blank off one side as one half of the mold is poured using silicon.
