Default Custom made body

Who do I need to talk to about getting a custom made styrene body built?

I'm wanting a body that isn't available in lexan or as a hard body
I've looked in the vendors section with no luck

Check out Silverado1's styrene builds in the 1.9 Scale section, maybe he'll build one for you

He does awesome work but keep in mind it's not cool to pay someone who isn't a vendor.

Who's a vender on here that does custom styrene bodies? I've look and haven't found a person that specifically does what I'm wanting

Well, my next suggestion would be for you to look through the styrene build threads throughout RCC, in this section, and all the scale sections, ask questions of the builders, maybe pm them for info. Silverado1 did a video build on an M715 Jeep Nukiser , learn from them, buy some sheet styrene, and attempt to build one for yourself. You don't know if you can do it unless you try. Just be aware that making mistakes is part of the build process. If something isn't fitting right, don't throw it across the room, step away from the build, take a break, and when you've calmed down, attempt it again. You can do it!

Thanks, yeah I think I'm going to try to build it myself first, I'm willing to spend the money but I'd like to see if I can do it, I've worked with styrene off and on before with hard bodies and model cars so I think I'll keep doing research, watching others builds and try it myself
