Default Lexan bodies, the afterlife and religion

So.. I've been wondering. If there is a heaven, I'm thinking that lexan bodies come pre-masked in that place. And if there's a hell, it would be no surprise if you had to mask lexan bodies flawlessly in dim light for eternity.
I wonder if this view is held by any of the major religions.

I'm a Pastor for the Church of Bacon and that sounds like something we should adopt..

Couldn’t say for sure, but you’ve got my attention. Now I need to figure out How the hell to find my way into heaven.


Ps/edit happy masking...

Hopefully st Peter rolls out the red carpet for me...
I have masked individual sections of tailights in multiple stages for realistic taillights. I hate light decals.

Pics later for proof.

pre cut masking sucks for fine window trim detail. but they are easy to apply. i wouldn't want a pre masked shell.. what if its sat on the shelf for a year?

Yup I have a brand new still in the bag body that's been in a box almost a decade. Pre masked would have shrunk for sure by now.

plus I wouldnt expect them to pre mask tailights for this kind of stuff...

HPI Nissan silvia s15


Yokomo toyota AE86 Levin


ABC Nissan Silvia s14


I shall arrive at the gates of Valhalla shiny and chrome...

Lemon desserts belong in hell!

Besides masking, painting, and cutting Lexan bodies, please, also add shock building.

What really kills me is just seeing the panel lines, etc. Seeing through lexan is like seeing through the surface of water. It bends the light. When I think I got it right, from a different angle it looks completely wrong.

I have many Lexan bodies for RC vehicles

They're an inexpensive substitute for hard bodies

They serve their purpose - pretty much like that lady that hangs out in our office park cafeteria - she's gotta be cheaper than having a wife

But they do mask it on the outside, and it's not affect by ageing/shelf life.

My version of RC hell would be having to assemble everything with "E" clips and realizing that there are no needle nose pliers to be found...
