I really wanted to test out my skills at trying to make a "new" body style from using chopped up existing bodies and epoxy resin.
I have no molds so I had to free hand everything and it's really starting to irk me. I'm not letting it get me down though - I'll call it trial and error. lol

I got a feeling though this ones getting put aside for the time being.

That is looking nice in a Ferrari kind of way. I'd love to see it finished, but if it's frustrating you, it might best to set it aside for awhile. I know what happens when I get frustrated.:wink:

at this point I think it's too late - I'm already pretty upset at this job so I'm just gonna use her a stunt body. With the results we look for, vacuum molding seems to be the best approach - or at least for my skills anyway.
I might try another sometime, but not until I have a perfectly clear picture in my mind. This particular one changed 3 times as the shape of the body changed. lol
It was my first dremel experience on these little babies too - and boy do I need to practice that too! I don't know how many times I was smoothing out the front wheel wells only to slip and take out the fender! lol

ah well - thanks for the words fellas ;)
