I was thinkin of going and buying a cheap mustang model down at walmart or something and making it looks like it was in a crash...I just got flat brown paint that i will drybrush on like it went off-road and i will have blood in the interior, but i was wondering how you guys think I could go about making it look like it is all bent in the front? I was thinkin maybe i could melt the plastic a bit and push it in or sumtin, has anyone else done this yet?

Here's the thing: crushed metal crumples, but crushed plastic bends, warps and tears. Simulating crushed metal is hard. :o

best way to make a crashed car is;

you get a big piece of tin foil and put it on the car and you scribe all the lines and grooves on the front end. then remove the tin foil and now you casted the front end of the car now bend and distort the tin foil like it was a metal car front end, then make a resin mold of the tin foil.
and here you have a perfectly real, crashed front end...


or you can just heat up the car and ram it in to a poll...

The resin idea is not terribly difficult. I saw a tutorial on some site a while back that made a dented hood on a truck. I think the guy might have used plaster of paris?

best way to make it look in a crash is to get a lighter and start burning the front bumper. j.k:D

not just the bumpers anymore. body panels are plastic like in the new saturn ion or any of the saturns. i swear its all plastic or something other then metal or fiberglass.. next time you see one, push its doors, fenders, you'll see what i
m talking about

Try this link for that 'tin foil thing'. They talk about 4 methods, foil/resin is number 4.

if i was you id just buy a 5 dollar metal 1.24 car from KB toys and pound it with a hamer and light it on fire. I was doing this with little 1.64 cars, go outside and throw it real high in the air and let in smash off the ground, and it sure as hell is fun
