Kenny just rolled the sections up tight for a day to help with some curveture as they say.
No scoring.
The styrene is relatively happy to bend.
Its all about having the right curves in the piece for it to want to wrap around the section the right way.
Just have to make sure the hlue welds the styrene to the frame fast.
Im using 'Locktite' glue.
It 'welds the plastic hard & fast.
Just make sure you have it lined up right the first time.
I didn't & had to strip the first layer off.
Unfortunatley the styrene was 'welded' to the frame & parts just didn't come off resulting in a huge clean up....
I learnt my lesson though
I have got the top section on, mostly.
Just needt to adjust the frame, on the next run.
The curves are sooo hard to get right.
Im making templates to use for when I do the plating as their all curved so its vital you get the right lines.
She's a little ruff but this is my 'mock up'
