Hey Bigballer! can I get some pointers as to how you used the styrene? Did you make a mold and heated the styrene to make the form you wanted? Did you cut pieces and glued them together? Any info would be much appreciated.

it seems daunting but having only recently started working with styrene myself I can tell you once you get into it its easy.

You can check out Matt over @ scalehobbies.com.He makes snugtops for the Clod body as well as a topper for the Hi-Lift/Juggernaut body and I think he made on for the Mountaineer as well.
I have one made for the Clod(Chevy) body.Pretty awesome detail on it.
