hello, this is just a silly thing you can do with an old bottle,
mark out a shape,
cut out and paint,
find a micro to put it on.
The paint costs more than the body

I though most people made something to mould it over out of mdf/filler then used a heat gun to make it the right shape?

now that is just crazy talk. why would you want to do that when you can create a boxart body without that extra work?

this is true old school from the pit tips section of rc car action magazine in june 1990.

*note* the rc10 is not my creation but worthy of being shown here seeing that it is not custom molded.
