- **CHECK OUT PART 2! • How to Work With Styre...
Episode 1 of a 2 part series on How To Work With Styrene! This will cover some of the basics, as well as some helpful techniques. Styrene plastic, is a durable, flexible material that is very easy to use with only minimal tools and basic knowledge. It can be heat-formed, vacuum-formed, chemically bonded (glue), and cut with only a sharp knife...
Or dental floss! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ozlo...
It is a favorite among model train enthusiasts, but has been a huge hit in the Radio Controlled world for constructing scale accessories or even entire bodies for RC cars and trucks.
/ rcculture ... RC Culture has asked me to build the body for one of his models ... Project Expedition! This is really an amazing vehicle, and although not a lot has been published about it yet, the plans he has in the works are EPIC ... you really REALLY need to check it out, and SUBSCRIBE to RC Culture so you won't miss any future updates or builds!
The next video will show more about how to make curves and bends with sytrene... much more complex than just flat pieces, but necessary to do in order to bring your build to that next level!
It will also let you know exactly what kind of vehicle Project Expedition is going to be!
In the meanwhile, do you think YOU know what it is?
Stay tuned for more updates on this, and other projects that MrRcFanatik/Fanatik Motorsports has going on, and SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss anything!

Once I saw you extract the drill bit at 9:45, I run to my workshop: "No way mine can have a sliding cover". YES THEY DO! It's only 15 years I've been forcing them open and having the bits fly all around. So... Thanks!
Superb work sir. Inspiring really.

Hey man! Interesting idea there, we'll have to see! ;)
Glad to hear from you, hope everyone over there is keeping well!
Yea it's a trailer! But to carry what, I wonder. How much does the polystyrene (Styrene) cost.
nice work and great cuts
+Dimaratos Tchacos Thank you!
ur such an architect!!
First off, where the hell did you find a sheet of styrene that big?!? Second, it looks AMAZING!!!!! I cant wait to see more.

MrRcFanatik where is part 2? It's a cliffhanger!!
Ha, sorry man! Life is super busy for me, but this project is finally finished, so as soon as I get the time I'll start editing Part 2! :)
+MrRcFanatik awesome!! The suspense is killing me!!
Great work! Do you have a how to on those bed latches , the spring loaded units?
Very good work. It looks like a project I wanted to model for a very long time. Land Rover Defender. But I want to model the 110 station wagon.
great purchase !!!!
fast and pretty
I personally expect the 2nd part of the bed of the defender

thank you for your video my friend
Hello from France
if you are passing through here sent a message
if you need to enlarge a hole slightly i fin useing a touch tip cleaner it works great u can gewt at any parts store .nice video i'm realy a steel fabricater so it is pretty easy for me just learning what to use keep the good modeling up
Excellent tutorial! very useful. What kind of glue are you using for join the styrene?
like I wrote earlier this week in Project GT6 - Ep21 comments, i'm back-trackin to see what you've been up to in the past. WOW - Very interesting. I must live in a cave. I had no idea such modeling was possible. I need to get out more. really nice result..... 👍👍😎👍👍
Cheers Joel - it is indeed pretty interesting what can be done with styrene, thanks for checking out some of our older stuff!
Subbed! That was really well done and a great edit with good music! I learned a lot watching this, you really explained it well. I just cut my new Gellande Cruiser body kit in two for a truck cab. My first hardbody and styrene endeavor. Do you recall what was used for the rivet heads on the tail light assemblies? That is a nice scale detail there. Thanks again for the lesson and content!
Thanks man, glad the video could give you some ideas! Part 2 might be helpful as well seeing as you’re also making a truck cab. I used HO scale railroad nails (cut down) for the rivets 👌👍 cheers!
this is amazing! I love all the intricate little details, especially the hinges! btw it has to be a defender, surely?
Thank you! I was quite pleased with the hinges, took long enough to get the design figured out though! Yep, you've got it :) ... check out part 2 to see it finished off! Cheers!
I think it’s the box of a Land Rover style truck!🐸🇫🇷
I came here because I am building a boat and want to use styrene on some of the parts. I was so excited to see that you are building a hi-cap defender haha.
Thanks man, hope the video was helpful in some way!
It was... It is.. well it will be for sure ;) Your project really sparked my interest. The 130 hi-cap is a favorite of mine. I use to work at a custom Land Rover shop here in Maine, USA and we got to build some really cool trucks. We did 110 hi-cap but I never had the pleasure of doing a 130. You really captured the spirit of the vehicle in your build. keep up the good work!!
That's really cool! I've never even seen a defender pickup here in Ontario Canada. I do occasionally see a 110 wagon but it's amazing how expensive they are... I guess you have to pay to be different! I really appreciate the kind words, best of luck with your project, and feel free to check out my D110 build series, as you may enjoy that too! Cheers :)
Awesome build, where did you get styrene that big, where are you located, I'm in New Brunswick, I would love to get some that big for doing stuff on my channel, keep up the great work
it s for a defender d110,congratulations for your works, french fan,thanks!!!!!
Thanks Benoit!
Hi , I was watching your video of working with styrene part 1 and I noticed your plans of the tailgate and the trailer sides , are these plans yours or can we buy them someplace .Please keep building as i know I could watch any of your builds over an over, Tinlegs.
Conner McDavid ? ...his talent is never ending!
awesome... what the latch you use?
You could use magnets to keep your set square in place as well. Maybe add a rubber backing to prevent sliding.
Good idea! They would have to be very strong magnets though, either that, or you just couldn't push too hard. Still though, doable with the right materials! Thanks for commenting!
it's nice!! can you please let me know where to get the design plans? is there any specific website for the plan? thank you :-)
wish I was crafty like u or even was good at taking measurements bc I have a steel bolt on rc4wd rear bed type thing for my scx an want a bed for it. I'm tired of just seeing the frame lol.. awesome video though again man. you definitely have a gift!!
Well thanks man! All I can say is give it a go, I got this sheet of 4x8 styrene plus a bunch of glue for only around $40 ... and you can make a LOT of worry-free mistakes with that much of this stuff! Cheers, and thanks again for the kind words!
Freakin awesome tunes man! Did you make them?
Very nice techniques...
So what was the time invested on just this bed build..?
Great work!
Is there a website for the drownings?
Dude ur freaki awesome!
Haha, thanks!
Hola Amigo. Me encanta tu trabajo y me gustaría saber donde conseguir planos de distintos modelos para tener medidas reales. Gracias y un saludo
Hi nice work, I just started modelling. I live close to Toronto can you please tell me where I can buy the styrene you used in your video and how thick it is. Thank you.
Couldn't find any hobby grade pvc amidst the quarantine. Bought them wee batrhroom plastic windows in a hardware store, they use them for covering the pipes and water meters, also only 2 mm thick. Also, has a frame, cut it up to make posts and the frame. Very flexible under heat and robust, guess it should hold up well vs moist as well and won't dry out and crack easily. Thought would share the tip if anyone has the same sort of jam.
Great work by the way, sub'd!
Hi, im interested in making my own body, what sort of glue do you use?
must say that watching this being made from noting but styrene is really cool.. I have today orderd some sheets of black 500x350x2mm ( Btw very hard to find i sweden) to make som stuff for my axial wraith
great work!!!
Have fun!
What kind of glue are you using? I've always had a problem with styrene warping.
Defender 130 double cab pick up for sure.
where do you buy this stuff in Canada? I'm in Vancouver. Have you heard of a company called evergreen scale models?
Great video! What micro drill sets are those?
Thanks Doc! It's from a local Princess Auto, but I modified the drill as I didn't like the way it was made... this set on ebay is pretty much the same thing, and I think it would work great for you!

Cheers man!
Greetings from the centre of Canada. Just a tip, a machinist’s de-burring tool will do a fine job of cleaning up your cut edge and you may find it a safer tool than the knife.
Hello from Ontario Kevin! That's an excellent suggestion, thanks for sharing it!
Nice work! Where do you get the hardware, etc. (latch for tailgate) shown in video.
Thanks Joseph, I made the wire latches from some old chromed Tamiya springs (bent to shape with pliers), and ballpoint pen springs to make them operate. The hinge pins are HO scale model railway nails. Cheers. 👍
Hola amigo soy de argentina me gusta lo q haces ...te ago una pregunta de cuantos milímetros de grueso es la lamina q usas?
where did you get your plastic? I live in Waterloo on
Question as I am new to using and building with Styrine
My question is how durable is it?? Will it easily break if I go RC ing ?
Or will it with stand the the flips and scratches on my RC’s??
This is great for Ork scratch building
When building with styrene is there anything you can use for body filler like Bondo?
awesome work , what did u use for the metal silver studs? nail heads? did u cut them with a saw?
+kairus1 Hi man, yep, the hinge pins are HO scale model train railroad nails. Just some wire cutters were all that were needed to trim them down to size. Cheers!
thank you very helpful
And also go to lowes buy a lexan de bur tool its habd held small and fir removing sharp rough edges off of lexan plastic and i use it on my lexan rc bodies abd styrene and eben model car bodies out of the box around fender bottom and wheel wells
Amazing work! How long did it take you to build just that?
Thank you Scott! About 2 months of working in the evenings and weekends.
College .... ahhhh alright well I'll have to build it myself. thanks for the reply. no chance I could get the measurements on it tho could I I'm trying to get wheel arch right, and don't wanna screw up, that would be great if ya could share that.
9:30 says "Defender" on the drawing :)
Do you still have the plans for this I would love to build one with your plans
dude! I'm new to scale, and this has me totally stoked to jump in. I've just ordered an Ascender kit, and I'm all over an interior. may I ask what glue you are using?
Dave Aschenbrand Awesome man! I use a few types, plastruct plastic weld, humbrol ploy cement, and gorilla super glue. Different types for different situations, and it's kind of trial and error to find out what works best for yourself, but those are what I use, and they work for me!
Have fun man!
