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!



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

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.

Cool They made three, do you know which one? i.e. which gimmick-y name is on the box?

I want one of these, so, in the meantime, I want lots of pics! :licker:

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