Apologies if this is the wrong section.
I had a hare-brained idea for doing a fiberglass copy of my HK Walrus, mainly to get something with a bit more interior space, but also for giggles.
I know how FG goes together in like a factory setting, and I've seen people glass foamies for durability, but I haven't really seen a breakdown from a Homebrew pov, is it really just a matter of putting on some mold release, laying down the cloth, rolling out the resin, and then sand/finish when done?
Getting the resin/tools probably isn't too hard, but what weight cloth? How many layers, aside from the obvious reinforcement areas?
