Default Styrene

I want to start doing my own extra scale peices and bodies. What is the proper thickness that is used in building scale? Any feed back is greatly appreciated.

that would totally depend on what you're building..the most common sizes are..
.20
.30
.40
.60
.80
with those sizes you can pretty much make anything.. buy a bag of odds and ends and you can make lots of things...just be creative and think in 3-d...also get ya some plastruct bondene..use that not super glue..the bondene melts the pieces together and forms a solid bond...also you'll need to go to the parts store or even walmart and get ya some bondo spot putty..or order some usc icing its expensive but the best stuff to work with it cures quick, self levels and leaves no air pin holes..great stuff...hope this helps ya
