Tube style body

well i was playing down in the workshop today a little bored so i decided to make myself a tube style body. Its just made of paperclips soldered together in the shape of the offroad racer/crawler bodys

i havnt had a chance to mount in on ZZMT yet as im not around any to test fit, but i think i will come pretty close to getting a scale look on the top of a modded MT

ignore my crappy soldering, heres some pics:

so..what your thoughts on it?

Cool. What's the weight compared to the stock plastic body? Heavier, lighter?
How's your crawler coming along?

I hear that. Every time I think I'm going to be able to get some work done on my latest one life seems to get in the way. I promised this one to a friend almost a year ago. It's taking forever but I think it will be worth the wait. I guess it just makes it that much more enjoyable when I do get to work on it.

Hope you get to work on it soon.
