how to make skirts?

i'm planning to make skirts and revise the front bumper of my subaru legacy wagon, but i don't know where to begin. do i need to glue some styrene pieces for foundation or should i apply the putty directly onto the body then carve it with files? can someone help me please?!

Hey boy! Skirts is what dem girlies wear, 'round these parts we call em Ground Effects!

:D

The best way is to form a structure with styrene first then apply putty to fill in areas, provide shape and contours.

Which Legacy kit are you building?

This idea had been dancing in my head for a while , you could cut a stem from one of the "trees" and glut it to where the side skirts should be and apply putty to that. I think thats a new idea, because I havent seen anyone do this before.

GLUE it, GLUE!

Arent the trees too thick?

ok if you say so mr. fly! thanx! :cwn27: but how 'bout the front bumper? should i make the vents bigger and then do the same procedure with styrene and putty? or totally cut the front bumper and scratch build a new one?

You put a stem from the trees for a BASE, then apply putty to that, so you can get a better shape.

jay, it's the "GT" version. i'll post a progress thread for it, when i eventually start it.:cwn27:


integra818, know what you mean, but i rather use styrenes more user friendly.
