Default Making dents/body damage

I used this years ago when I made a scale looking stadium truck, I simply used a rock (right out of the alley way) and a heat gun and pot holder. (NO NO NO, like your mom would use to take stuff out of the oven with!) Just heated up the body with the gun, placed it over the rock where I wanted the dent and used the pot holder to press down. The lexan molded really well to the contours of the rock and presto, you've got dent. Marbles work good too for making perfect round indentions for recessing headlights or turbo bumps on the hood.

Not from that long ago, just trying to share some info. I JUST recently got back into RC's and am waiting for the 2 crawlers I bought to get here. No realizim for these bodies, they'll get it on their own I'm sure.
