What is this body and suggestions please

[nurgs]

So I have this second hand body I want to fit to my rig. Fits well but the mount holes are broken and I want to strip the paint and start again. Also want to fit lights to it.
Any suggestions and where I can find lights to fit inside for headlights and tail lights would be great.
Thanks

Elements was very good quality. The main material that they use is the so-called "White / black strong & flexible", which is much more accurate than the standard FFF prints (melted in a heated head) found in home 3d printers.
Some smaller parts was printed using High Definition Acrylate (UV-sensitive print method) here the quality is insane.









Painting items

This stage was a big experiment because I have no experience in painting and generally in painting at all. Fortunately material from Shapeways was easy to work with and most importantly resistant to acetone! So some parts I could paint so many times that I thought it was good; )

There are many ways to paint this materials. They can be also mount without painting. The main elements - (White / black strong & flexible) I painted in a simple way:

1. Firts I put thin layer of primer (Tamiya 87064 Fine Surface Primer)





2. After a few minutes, I brushed the primer with 600 wet sandpaper (I rubed the primer until the surface of item was gently visible)



3. another layer of primer and sandpaper 800 then 1200 and stop with 3000

Fnished items were painted with Tamiya TS-76 Mica Silver, TS-29 Semi Gloss Black, TS-14 Black, TS-1 Red Brown











The elements of the lamps are made with the transparent Frosted Detail Plastic, and is just after that is matt. I use 1200 and 3000 sandpaper, and use spray varnish. Tamiya X-27 Clear Orange, Tamiya X-27 Clear Red can be used to add red or orange or ranom marker.
