Aaaarrrggghh!
I´m cutting open the doors and making a hood/trunk scoop on my Porsche, but it takes FOREVER!!! I get so f-cking sick of making the same f-cking motion over and over and over again. How long does it usually takes to cut open one door for those of you who have done it?
I´m using a x-acto knife.

Thanks, Fredrik

A Tri-tool can help cutting the door in about 15 to 20mins time.

Re: Aaaarrrggghh!
Opening the door is the easy bit. Scratchbuilding the sill, detailing, hinging, etc is what takes the time!

The scratchbuilding is easy, not repetitive, and not frustrating. So next time I need doors open I'll send them your way.

Re: Aaaarrrggghh!
Lets see, in the time it would take you to pack the box, walk down to the post office, pay the postage and send it off, you'd have one of the doors out already!
I guess I'm just too picky, it would be easy to hang the door off a bit of wire and have it look ordinary. Do it properly and it takes (me at least) hours of dreaming up solutions, trial fitting and minute adjustments. So long in fact that I've yet to complete those I've started. But the doors have been cut out - easy!

Exactly, that is what I enjoy the most about modelling, the scratchbuilding part.

It's a love-hate relationship with me, sometimes I wonder what the hell I was thinking trying to make something from scratch!

And then others its like....wow, I made that
