Well, I'm delving deeper into all things custom, after all the inspiration here.
I stumbled on styrene when working on the compound, and now that I'm turning try my hand at vehicles I'm looking for some pointers on working with this awesome material - guys like Eddie and Digler - I'm lookin' at you!
In particular:
How are you getting the smooth bends in the rod stock? *insert dick joke here*
What are you using to heat the stock for molding/bending?
What recommendations do you have for suppliers? I've found some deals on eBay, better than the hobby chains, but any points in the right direction would be appreciated.
Bonding agents - I have model glue and super glue, any other adhesives recommended for bonding to other materials?
Any other tips for a noob?
I'll be starting small on a 50th VAMP, before moving on up to one of those PTE ICV things (if I can find one!)
Cheers!
