2 жыл бұрын

Follow along as I try to make the licensed Toyota Xtra Cab body from RC4WD into something that looks like an actual Toyota. This particular build is for my friend Mike of ‪@MikesRCWorld‬ as a replica of his mini monster truck.
Part 1: Cutting Xtra Cab off and discarding, correcting A pillar, fixing front fender...shelves(?) and much more.

@turksandjerps 4 ай бұрын

I like to use Japanese dovetail or pull saws. You can also use a razor saw more geared towards hobbyists. The glue is a solvent such as acetone or MEK, it melts the plastic together to form the bond.
