Still avoiding some of the bigger tasks but it's good just to fiddle around sometimes.

Cabin air takes sit at the rear of the bonnet.

Wandered around Bunning looking for something with the right profile. I nearly bought a toilet brush holder but found a bit of sewer pipe that was just right. I cut off the bit I needed.



I glued it to a bit of board and added some timber.



Filled the cavity with Plaster of Paris.



Removed the mould and cut off a piece of Plexiglass.



Into the oven



Shaping in the oven.



With a bit of trimming it should be just like a bought one.



How it should look finished. I looked through a few book and it looks like they were all hand made - the shapes seemed to vary on all 36 cars.
