i have just cut out some new slim line body shapes from 1.4mm fibre glass to reduce her bulk and give her better curves than i got ;) and lose a few grams in the process :)

Nice. Is that frame all home made? How does the weight compare to off the shelf frames?
Nothing like a fresh quad refit with new frame even better if they're your own design. How did you cut your frames? Hack saw job or ?
I have some G10 I use for frame plates n other projects..quite difficult to cut a nice edge with basic hack saw lol. stinks also if you cut with a frenzied rapid motion.:))

Nice one Diz - like it.
Here she is complete guys and thanks for your input, Gav i use my glass cutting saw but tbh a very fine jewellers saw cuts it dry and leaves a lovely edge :) avoid frenzied actions it burns he he
