all dressed up and nowhere to go
You know the feeling when you get a little carried away when ordering parts, got this in the post today, 2,7 kilo around 4,5 pounds of aluminium, and I still haven´t ordered a truck for the parts, guess its gonna be a grand hauler.

Re: all dressed up and nowhere to go
Should look great! Good plastic work, Styrene is really great to work with.

Re: all dressed up and nowhere to go
Rene - nice fill work.
Travis taught me to take a seperately bottle of our styrene glue and put little pieces of styrene in it from our cutting and carvings. The pieces disolve and add filler to the glue. Helps fill moderate gaps.

Re: all dressed up and nowhere to go
usually I use a dremel, but for the front fenders i used a thread, drilled a little hole next to the headlight, put at thread through and pull it back and forth, it can make a pretty clean cut if you know what you are doing, mine was far from clean
