I'm looking to get into a styrene scratch build myself. I'll first try some basic things out. midland, your garage is supper cool! I think I need one too.

My question is how to I get very smooth rounded edges like on this FedEx truck (which I would like to replicate), particularly the front left corner angle?

Build up the corners from the inside and grind them down with a Dremel. Follow with sandpaper. At least that's what I would do. Everyone has their own way.

Where do you get the measurements to start from to make the items scale?
