Although the foam looks pretty smooth in the pictures there will come lots of holes to the capsule when you start sanding and adding plastic padding.
You forget he's making a sandwhich construction. And the fiberglas should NOT be sanded down. Wowen cloth should be used, and filled with epoxy, and then the epoxy sanded smooth.
You can NOT compare a sandwhich to a monoshell. Sandwich is MUCH stronger.
