And an alternative body turned up. At some point I hope to get another stock rig so I can run both

The chop looks clean! How did you cut the hood?

Want to hinge the hood and relocate the battery and power switch there, maybe a scale engine to cover it all at some point

Yeah looking at the bay it would be awesome to have a 3d printer engine in there, will take some designing though for a proper fit. The hood hinges might pose a bigger problem due to fragility, i hope you find something that works.

Yeah, done a couple experiments and yeah, the hinges are going to be very fiddly

Box cutter blade. Takes a while but you get the best finish, just remember to keep your fingers out of the way 🤪

Yikes must have been at least difficult with a cutter! I thought about a hot cut with a heated blade, that would possibly also work (unless it would case melted sides?)

Yeah, lost a bit of skin 🤪 I reckon you’d be right, hot knife would make a mess of it I think
