Another shit happened, body started to break up

I strengthened it with two part epoxy glue and photoetched net. I hope it'll be strong enough.

Next regular part soon

great work man. one question though, you speak of photo etched netting earlier on, do you do this yourself? would be interested to know because I do photo etched PCB's and we are possibly doing similar processes.....

cheers,

ph2t.

I've bought these nets here: http://jadarhobby.waw.pl/e_portal/c_def ... 11630b14e8

Of course you can do this by yorself. I have instructions how to do this, but it is in polish. I'm sure that you find something in english somewhere in the net.

Cheers

Part 10

I made front wheel holes (i don't know its name) smaller.

Materials: two part epoxy glue
Tools: Excel Light Duty Knife, Excel files, sandpaper 600 and 1200

I used two part epoxy glue because of its strength, body is bending here during installing on the chassis.

miva, the front holes are called the front "wheel wells"

or sometimes called the fenders, or quater panels depending on which side.
