Re: Profil 24 1/24 models of 2018 Porsche 911 RSR Le Mans

Re: About Renshape or "chemical wood"

The ones you should look for are brown and green. Their densities are around 350g/dm3 to 450g/dm3. The brown stuff is a bit softer and easier to w...

Giant floor and giant front wing...The shark fin probably has the same thickness on the real car, so it's 20 times thicker on the model :lol: . I think will replace that with brass board, or plastic card? The thing i...
