this becomes a group project in that if i'm
going to do this i'm gonna make this diecast
model into a plastic one.
after starting with trying to build BT's i've found making plastic
Alts far far easier, the plastic is far more forgiving. i'm gonna
buy 9 lbs of maritime RTV molding to cast all of the various parts in
what i plan on is gutting the current car of all non essential parts, then
epoxy in all the necessary mounting points to screw in the parts, then
mold and produce that shell. at that point it is essentially a BB ALT kit
that needs to be finished/shelled and painted. the cost is going to be
rather steep for one person, but with a few of us, not so bad
if no one wants to go in, i'll still make a few kits and they can be purchased, but i think the group project will be better
so what do you think?
