What do people use to make windshields for resin or 3D printed bodies?  Also, how do you create the interior tins of these bodies to not only look correct but to also fit the chassis correctly?   Thanks for any info!

For the tin work the easiest way is CAD, cardboard aided design. Not actually cardboard at our scale but thick card stock can be trimmed to fit and the shaped traced onto Evergreen sheet.

For the windows, if you have a lady in your life buy her a decent size makeup palette and it will come with a crystal clear, paper thin sheet of plastic big enough for several kits.

Most of the time the caster/printer vacuum forms the glass over a buck they make. There are a few who use a real slow, like 24 hour, cure clear resin and cast them with a mold.
