Progress on the Bumper.

Managed to squeeze some time in this week to work on the bumper some more, its still a pain in the butt though.
Its finally taken shape, and Iam currently ironing out the final details in the thing. Ran into a bunch of hurdles in the curved parts on the to sides which was the majority of the hassle of this thing, but like all hurdles Ive been over coming them little by little.
The next headache was to figure out how the part contours at the bottom to the side parts. As seen in the above and bottom pics. The right side was fairly simple since it was a pretty easy fillet, but the left side was not so.. Luckily after a lot, and I mean alot of trial and error I was finally able to figure it out. The problem since I had free handed it it required alot of improvising until the final pic happened, Iam satisfied for the most part on how it came out though. Ill more than likley do something a bit different when the time comes to make the thing for real.
Currently Iam fighting on the right side, and it took me pretty much the most of yesterday to finally figure out how to get the groove on the right side to go from square to a round.

Again stuff like this always hits me when Iam not working on the thing, turned out to be something rather simple to do. After some searching on the "google", I found a pretty nice explanation on how go from a square to a round. Link here!
Iam really getting the hang of this, so when ever I tackle something Ive made up Iam glad Ill be able to put what Ive learned so far on this project towards it. So till next post.
