Finally got the S2 shell laid-up. I like these one-layer skins because I can bend and shape them very easily. When I get it set and braced, I am going to use canned foam to add beads and inner bracing, then make it rigid with more glass lay-up. When it's strong enough the outside with be straightened and detailed, then skinned with a layer of carbon fiber, that will be the final finish (with a satin clear top coat). One day, I hope to pull a mold from it and produce a lighter, stronger, perfect version of it, but for the foreseeable future this prototype will suffice.

I can't wait to show the details I have planned for this body.
