cobraman Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Should be ok with thin enough plastic. I have sheet plastic that bends well and thought about filling them but prefer the windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 On the window issue, I have had good luck using thin clear plastic from packaging used for different products you might buy most anywhere. My favorite is the plastic used behind the top button and under the collar on men's dress shirts. This is used to make it hold it's shape. They will bend easily without creating a bend mark in the plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gman Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I was thinking your resin was a "phantom" body style, seeing as I haven't seen a variant like that in all of my years . https://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F89%2F0b%2F08%2F890b08df1a0b192a489ee9e2517e008c.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.co.uk%2Fpin%2F116178865360010544%2F&tbnid=78uWDGOZg-aYuM&vet=12ahUKEwjrlf3NncvpAhUUBzQIHdkBBVoQMygLegUIARDNAQ..i&docid=GiKIKPWaLg1InM&w=1000&h=687&q=www.irmaododecio.blogspot.com&ved=2ahUKEwjrlf3NncvpAhUUBzQIHdkBBVoQMygLegUIARDNAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 It is a phantom, not stock but someone may have built one in 1:1. there was this VW Fridolin that was made primarily for the post office. I remember seeing these when I lived in Germany. I’d love to have a resin of this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
