Re: 6x6 Dakar Race Truck (1:16 scale)
After the third or fouth try out on foam-board I tranffered the pattern on to sheets of balsa wood and hand cut them out. I assembled the balsa wood pieces togetther using small spots of hot glue. Once the unit was all together I soaked every seam inside and out with Gorilla glue and let it dry to three days. I then used my Dremel to round all the outside edged to about 1/8" dia. Next, I coated all the edges in wood filler, then after it dryed I hand sanded the body down nice and smooth.
