Default Styling a bodyshell
Ok guys, I'm looking for someone who can produce the pattern / mold to make me a polycarbonate (lexan) bodyshell. What I need is someone who has the skills to 'style' a bodyshell, someone with a bit of artistic flair. Are Racecraft still in business? Who do Schumacher, etc use?

Over to you.

Not sure about currently, but they always used to do all the bodyshell work in-house. Can't remember the chaps name, but he had talent that's for sure.

I want the shell for a buggy I have designed (1:10th). I don't have the artistic talent to create a decent looking bodyshell. I assume the manufacturers work a clay master or something, or perhaps work straight from a 3D cad model via a multiaxis machining center to produce a master??

Will do once I've got a bit more done! It's getting there.

Hi mate, I make custom shells and wings for micro's at the mo like these - http://www.uk-microrc.co.uk/forum/in...howtopic=10368

The moulds are all custom made by hand to our own design then the shells are professionally manufactured in polycarbonate for us.

I'd be happy to design a one off for you. What do you have in mind ?

Si.
