ok, yea i got ya. it looks a lot better when the body is completely trimmed. i also agree on the front bumper, and it has been fixed on the mold for the second run, the rear bumper is already in place on the mold, but is hard to see because of lighting and the fact that it is all orange. the sideskirts do look a bit flared now, and that has also been fixed. this plastic is thicker and would not form to the bottom of the mold.
for tape.. well i have had no luck at all with tape and the curves needed. the liquid seems to be working pretty good. although i did intend on doing the details with waterslide decals... when i get the paper i will.
well chrome. i have thought about that rub on stuff, but when asking aoubt it in the craft store, the lady told me that you will only see it on the side that you rub from.. and in the case of the clear bodys, that would be from the bottom. so the rub on stuff wont work. i stopped at the hobby store again and talked to one of the wokers there and they showed me a paint that would work,, but it was 10 bucks for a bottle not much bigger than a bottle of nail polish, and it had to be airbrushed. i dont have an airbrush. but they had samples of all the paints on desplay and what they looked like when used, which was very helpful. i will look for that ALCAD paint. where should i be able to find it?
sweet thanks for the tips!!!
