The Styrene-Master.........

[ridepate]

I'm not...............After seeing all the amazing styrene-work and the word thrown around for the first-time in my 30 years of modeling, I decided to give it a try. WOW!!!! Talk about easy, well sorta. Beats the hell out of watching epoxy and fiberglass dry.........Instant gratification...

This is my very first attempt. A cab-back for my Tundra. That Bondene is the sheiot

Looks good

I've also seen a lot of work done, heard about it, seen pictures...

but, never dealt with it. What can you tell me about the process, products and your experience's?

all i can say is go buy some styrene and give it a go. first time i have used styrene and i really enjoyed it. no expensive tools needed just some imagination and a bit of patience.

My only experience is about 2-hours tonight. I tell ya, it looks intimidating when you see all these pics of these off the chart ,complete scratch body-builds and such. I was big-time intimidated by it, no doubt. I'm like "How the hell"???. I ordered some from RPP and thought ,why-not try it at least.
It cuts easy with good sissors and bonds great with Bondene, the specific glue I used. Not instant bond, enough time to move around a little but once it's set, It's welded!! It sands really good and gets stronger as you add bracing and such. You can also use heat to manipulate it.

Get you some and try it. The first thing I did was just build a simple box to get the feel of it.

I got some for the first time the other night. First thing I tried was a Gerry can. The stuff is fun to work with![IMG][/IMG]

Great work on the back of the tundra. I have made a back for mine and it was quite tricky with the bend just below the glass and at the bottom. Nice work....
