a tip for those still wanting to get into the styrene thing but cant find any....hit up Wal-Mart or something like that and buy some of the plastic NO TRESPASSING signs, they are the same thing, you'll just have to paint the piece to cover it up.

| This is my first experience with styrene, I still have a lot to do on this drop bed. The wheel tubs are huge to match the huge wheel arches on the hpi f150 body. I used .060 for this, not really sure what most people use. |

If you made some bumpers out of this stuff, how well would it hold up to some rock scrapes?

I think it would hold up well if you used thick enough material, my drop bed is .060 and it's pretty tough. I think they had .120 at hobbytown, that's pretty thick..almost 1/8" I think. Im a styrene noob tho. heres the grille I'm attempting now. |

How thick of styrene do you guys use to build interior floor pans and dashes? I've got a build going and I'm cutting cardboard out for templates then going to do it in styrene. I have some .60 I think it is. Wasn't too sure how it would hold up. Its a big KOH style steel tube chassis.

you should be fine with .060 you can always reinforce it with square styrene.

glad to see this thread pop up again, i didn't want to be the one to necro it. been playing around with some sheet styrene again, trying to get used to plastruct weldene. i started with tenax and its just a hard switch. recent projects are a little bench top mill (not really based on anything) and a model of my work table in my shop. the table is 48x48x1.5" plate, legs are 3x5" 3/8" thick wall tubing, 3 beads of 7014 wrapped around each leg. have yet to test how strong it really is...my shop teacher was pretty impressed though. there is a tongue on the 1:1 that i still have to build, has an adjustable vice on it. the top was drilled with a mag drill for a 6"x6" grid. real (forgive the messy shop) and the model, complete with montezuma welding tool box and foam rubber to replicate the rubber bed mat i use as the work surface. made with sheet only. no filler used. the "mill" still needs some paint, no filler here either. |

I thought about making another thread for this, but decided against it...better to just add to this one. I needed scale accessories to cover the shock hoops in the bed of my 4 door Hilux A different take on the Hilux Anyway, this is what I came up with. Rubbermaid Action Packer Jerry can (aged) sorry this one is blurry...cell phone pic How they cover hte shock hoops Here they are in the bed |
