first time working with styrene (pics)

[mtnbiker93]

so i finally went out and got some styrene after asking some questions on w=here. i love the material and its easy to work with. the first thing i did is probably gonna be the smallest and worst looking thing i will ever make. it was a scale radio as you can see. i haven't even sanded it or made it pretty yet cause all i wanted to do was tear into this stuff so it looks pretty bad. here are the pics






tell me whats up thanks!

Coolness. You did a great job with only first try. If you get to do it again, what will you do differently?

Dude nice job, I'm thinking of making some stuff like a CB out of the stuff. Still too scare to try though.:-(

[mtnbiker93]

so i decided id make the plunge and try an interior. just got the dash done but it looks only semi ok. the pics:




you cant see it in the truck very well but it fits great amd looks better



more to come on the interior!

i still need to get an axial interior parts tree so i can get a good steering wheel and the shifters and then i will start the rest of the interior
