With such a nice museum collection, I think you need to put in light and humidity control. 8D16-Dec-2006

Custom lexan bodies
homerboi
Thank you for your comments, fellas. I already sell these lexan shells among a few others (ie. mini coop, subaru wrx, 69 camaro, peugeot206 - lost count...) I've got my own heavy duty homemade vacuum former so labor cost is low - just me, myself & I. 8D
It supports my addiction in this hobby - to the dismay of my lifetime partner. However, we're all permitted one or two bad habits.
scollins,
I started with PETG. Quite easy to work with, unfortunately, the kids that tested my shells on their high speed micros shattered or broke them in the first couple of collisions. I found PETG does not have a high shear resistance or durability when compared to lexan. On the other hand, lexan is more difficult to work with & has a higher water content in its makeup so one is supposed to 'dry' these before forming them. I've been successful thus far (thru trial and error) in getting the right combo of heat and pressure on these smaller scale bodies.
These particular shells have minimal undercuts. I've now been able to add undercuts to some of my new designs to permit more realistic styling bodies. I hope to apply a newer technique for extreme undercuts to my upcoming 1/12th & 1/10th scale bodies.
bakaguyjean,
trade secrets? patience (which I don't have...), sculpting skills definately help, some materials knowledge and of course, one's own equipment and tools.

Both you and Steve are terrible! Flaunting your addictive rides - my itch has developed into a sore now. How is one to treat this itch?? 8P 8Dbtw, you'd better clean the sand on the beach before you take it out for a spin, eh? :)

I think the only medication to rid these itch sores is to possess one of these and bring in several dump loads of clean sand into the backyard! 8oVery Niiice!
