Molding Putty
Anyone on this forum every try to experiment with molding putty? Have you ever tried to make a "body kit" or front lip with putty? If so, i was wondering how the "mod" went. Was the putty easy to mold and design? What tools did you use? Was it easy to attach it to the body, and as well on lexans.
The reason why I ask is because the lexans have no front bumper what so ever and was wondering if anyone tried to add one on their own. |
The tools you need are;
A dremel with sanding drum or some fine sand paper (220 or finer) Some putty:rolleyes: Squadron or tamiya is highly recomended, stay away from testors. and some imagination. Attaching the putty to lexan or any other plastic is pretty easy, it sticks to it well. The one piece of advice I can offer is to go light on the putty, the more putty you add the heavier it gets. If you wanna make body kits use lexan and cut it to size and shape you need. You can buy lexan sheets in different thicknesses. I tried twice to make a body out of putty and lexan but they both came out like crap because I was impatient. TAKE YOUR TIME with it, mold the putty right the first time and you'll save yourself alotta grief later trying to sand it down. I hope this helped somewhat. |
