you need to use a thicker paper to stop warpage, and you need to resin first, it helps keep the paper sturdy while glassing

very nice, I might look into if further. Thanks for the tip.

oh sweet thanks.

Well if you want to make one yourself you can buy cheap engines from other countries. For example japan defaults their cars at like 80 000km's so you can buy them cheap, I was thinking about getting a 4x4 engine and using that and making the hog a 4 wheel drive.

Yeah im planning on making one as soon as I get the money. Ive estimated that its going to cost about 15 grand including the skyline engine I wrecked a few weeks ago.

yeah im going to wait and see if someone posts some designs with numbers first, ive got a couple months till I get the money, so i'll wait till then and see.

This is excellent, I want to make one too but I dont have any designs for the frame, you wouldnt mind helping me out would you?

yeah ive bookmarked that thread already

Thanks for that. Any help is much appreciated.

yeah that should be good. It would be better with the axel dimentions but it doesnt really matter I can just make it smaller or bigger depending on the body dimention. Also im pretty sure having a gun on the warthog would be extreemly illegal in australia. LOL

thats awesome, mind if I use it?

yeah I had some in my skyline that are red and black, so I could use them and paint the warthog red and black. Actually now that I think about it that would look pretty sick.

Sweet thanks for that, thats going to help alot.

ok i'll look into that, i'll start on Bevbor's model and do the measurements to see how big I need it. I was thinking about just using a normal seat cus i'd rather go for compfort than perfection.

yeah im scratch building pretty much everything. I totalled a V8 nissan skyline about a month ago and all thats left is the engine so im going to use thst, and im going to buy the axels and all the necesseties. But im going to scratch build the frame and body.
