Styrene workshop #1 – Tools

We use a lot of styrene to detail our lexan body’s. I thought it would be cool to make some tutorials and guides about how to work with styrene. But to work with you styrene requires good tools. So in this post i’m giving tips and info for the right tools.

I first started to work with styrene on a Nissan Skyline R34, but it was quite a failure. I didn’t knew how to bend the tubes for the rollcage, so I could throw a bunch of them in the bin. And if you are familiar with styrene, you know that styrene isn’t cheap.. There are a few places where I can buy styrene, but you can not find it everywhere so you might have to search on the internet for a good shop. I’ve read on many forums on how to work with styrene, but I never saw a forum which included everything about it. I have a lot of info from Mike Villena, on which I made a post about earlier. I think that his dedicated work should be shared with all of us. 🙂
