Yes, Ive made it..

a picture of the balsa"core" inside a 2L Fanta bottle.

The bottle has been cut open in the bottom to make it possible to slide the core inside.
I use a heatgun to warm the material, the PET bottle then tries to get back to its original shape
(which is a really small tube) and thereby gets a snugg fit to the core!

But it makes a "tent" over any concave shapes, as the material gets as "short" as possible.."

I bought some tools and stuff yesterday, so hopefully this evening I'll start with the 2nd gen. SD! ..With the RB5 front end.
