Ok guys, I'm looking for someone who can produce the pattern / mold to make me a polycarbonate (lexan) bodyshell. What I need is someone who has the skills to 'style' a bodyshell, someone with a bit of artistic flair. Are Racecraft still in business? Who do Schumacher, etc use? :confused:
Over to you.:)

Not sure about currently, but they always used to do all the bodyshell work in-house. Can't remember the chaps name, but he had talent that's for sure.

I want the shell for a buggy I have designed (1:10th). I don't have the artistic talent to create a decent looking bodyshell. I assume the manufacturers work a clay master or something, or perhaps work straight from a 3D cad model via a multiaxis machining center to produce a master??

Hi mate, I make custom shells and wings for micro's at the mo like these - www.uk-microrc.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=10368
The moulds are all custom made by hand to our own design then the shells are professionally manufactured in polycarbonate for us.
I'd be happy to design a one off for you. What do you have in mind ?
Si.
