A Complete Look At Creating A Resin Casting Master Body<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mastering A Body Part 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well I decided I didn’t like the looks of the nose, so it was removed. This one is a four piece deal, it was a bit more work, but I’m much happier. Also decided to cover the grill opening. The two new fender extensions have been cut and installed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The two front side dam pieces, and two center pieces installed.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Inside look, and the two air intake ducts cut out.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’ve decided to attempt rather than cast with a void area in the front nose, to go ahead and add a grill mesh into the mold. Figured this way for a slot car version it would add strength, and if one wanted to model the body, there would be a nice outline to remove and add real mesh.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the two pieces were cut and glued in place, I used scotch tape to seal the screen from the back so the rubber won’t seep through. Then I covered the entire nose area with another piece of plastic for added strength.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here the gas fill neck was installed, and filled.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fender flare strips are cut from .040 styrene, I taped them around this Teflon rod, then placed in a pan of boiling water and let cool.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

After cooling and removal from the tape, I have a perfectly formed half circle that I was able to, without much effort glue into the wheel openings.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here all fender flares have been puttied and sanded, also the spoiler and A posts have been added.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Body is pretty much completed as far as adding elements, and is now ready for allot of finish filling and wet sanding.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

First prime and a little putty added in a few areas .<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

First prime sanded, looks pretty good to me.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Added hood\/trunk pin plates, a final prime, and a wet sand.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next I have put three slick clear coats over the whole unit and a 2000 wet sand and polish.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is now time to get the body ready for mold preparation, I use 3M green body shop tape 3\/4″ & 1-1\/4″ . I have found this tape sticks the best for me as I’ve had no silicone break through yet. I cover each window opening separately and use a large paint brush handle tip to burnish all around the opening.<\/p>\n
