Lathing the Bonnet

Having cut off all the excess foam in order to fit the block on to the lathe I began lathing the basic shape. Below is an image showing the process.



It took me about a day and a half to lathe out the bonnet shape. Mostly because I made a miscalculation when cutting off the excess foam. I cut off too much leaving two flat planes on the surface of the curve. To fix this I had to attatch two extra pieces of foam and continue lathing the bonnet.

However, with that now complete I can continue working on the breastplate while I prepare the bonnet for moulding.
