|  Forming Dents in Lexan Honcho
Ok...so ive had my Honcho for over a year...its been threw some motors, bearings...and ive recently painted it the "freshen" it up....but i love that it has lasted so long so i wanted to have my Honcho show the wear and tear... So this is my first attempt at making some Body Damage i carefully heated the area with a bbq lighter until the area gets soft... Then i lightly press (item of your choosing) into the soft area to get your desired dent size... I had to reheat the area a few times to get it how i wanted it DONT HEAT TOO HOT! WILL MELT A HOLE! heres the results.....enjoy! im always open to advice!   |

I love it... how does it work when you choose a larger area like a door and not just a fender?

one thing i did`nt say was don`t cut out the side window`s as this may happen if you fall off a 5 foot high tree stump like i did   |

I got a dent in my body's door... but I don't remember how it got there !? I don't purposely alter my lexan bodies... 'cause they usually get thrashed plenty just from normal use.  |
