any ideas on how i should finnish them?
i wasnt sure wether to cover them in vinal or paint, only thing with paint is that it will take me ages to make the things completely smooth and defect free.

Looks great
Regarding getting a good finish,
Can i recommend getting a Stopper. Im sure you are aware of what the stuff is as you seem pretty up with the bodywork side of things, but i would defently recommend it rather then normal filler.
You are able to get a defect free finish alot easier i feel with a stopper.
A good one to look out for is "Top Stop Gold"

i use 'Top Stop' by upol. But will soon be onto some high build primer instead, then getting on for spraying

slowly, very slowly. Now im just sanding and filling, sanding and filling. Which reminds me, Ive gotta order some large packs of wet and dry, about £50 worth!! all the resin and matting is finished on mine now, just filler etc. Got some cheap filler from work, random stuff to make the cards smooth, before putting top stop over the top to make them PERFECT. Then high build primer.

dunno if u did the same but when you made the actually cone things i used body repair mesh, has made it very strong and was easy to shape the fibreglass without using too much of it actually lookin at your garage u used that material instead, looking good though
