yeah thats pretty much it no kinks no boiling water no open flame to bend the styrene and screw it up or melt it

ok this is simple forget that method of heating things and bending them and screwing up parts and wasting money!! from your hobby store get the desired size tubing you are going to use get brass rod the fits snuggly to loosly inside this really does not matter nobody will see the rod insert the brass rod and bend to desired angle with pliers or your fingers to attach one section to the next i use crazy glue its quick and it holds any exess can be sanded later before painting i will post pics in my album later this week

3 to 4 tablespoons spackle- maybe more maybe less but thats what it looked like one small can flat brown paint- testors 1 tablespoon water- maybe more maybe less but thats what it looked like some disposable chopstix- to mix use whatever you got one quarter inch brush- this item is junk after, this so dont use an expensive one one can of clear coat not top gloss-for protection it sealseverything hairdirer- on cool. spackle in thin layers dries fast mix all the liquids i used an empty cat food can as mixxing tray apply with paint brush - FIRST- I had my model apart I found it to be easier this way remember mud goes everywhere. 1. do a thin layer first kinda brown the truck/or dry brush 2. use hair drier to harden one layer to apply another on top 3. with the brush"here is where it might get messy" get a glob of mud 4. dab and twist the mud on around the wheel wells to create build up 5. hit it with the drier make it tacky not dry 6. do the same thing all over the truck until you have the desired mud effect 7. apply clear coat when EVERYTHING IS DRY if you mask out the windsheild remember to remove the masking tape as soon as you are done with the mud or the mud will crack it is only spackle I hope this is helpfull to anyone who needs it here is some pics of the 72 chevy I mudded with this method <BR>
