Swayed by the Trax Posts: 5 Group: Member Member #888 Joined: April 12, 2008	Picked a (I hope) pretty simple 1st time scale project. Work in a print shop and can get all the free Styrene, Komotex, gatorfoam and/or thin aluminum plate that I need for the body. But I really want to get that vintage/well used look. Is it possible with the styrene or one of the other light weight material or should I use the Aluminum? Is it possible to make this scale sprite with an Aluminum body without it being to heavy? Thanks for any advice for this complete novice

Yet is strong enough to use. Theres plenty of good examples of guys building styrene bodies on www.scale4x4rc.org
