Saw this on another forum I hang out on and really liked the work done, so thought I'd share it with you guys. This is a toy grade hard body with styrene added to make a body kit. I think the thing i like most is that it looks like a real vehicle in the process of getting a body kit put on, with the primer, white kit, and general "under construction" look.

That's exactly what it looks like. That's sweet.

Yeah, I'm tempted to do something similar with the KMI. But after hours of labor and the first crash, I think I might cry. Noone wants to see that.

You could do a shelf body though, then just resist the urge to run it lol.

Thought of that too. Even thought about making my own cage like they have for the RC18. But then you still need a body on the outside. I'll see how good my styrene skills are after I finish the K5 Blazer scaler.
