This gave a strong enough platform and shape to start from.I then sanded and shaped it a little better now that it was all one piece - with the help of paint between sands to get an understanding of how I was progressing.I drilled some holes through the plate to help the resin 'attach', I then started to lay glass and resin, the attached pic is after one layer.About 6 layers later I added some filler which I sanded to give me the desired shape - again I put a light spray of paint between sandings to give me an idea of lines and progress.I then cut out the section to mount the DVD Player and gave it a spray, the colour isn't the best match but its pretty good straight from a can.
