Russ P Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I recently purchased a canopy for my little bandit I'm building from plans, from vortex vacforms, can anyone give me advice on how to cut it to the correct shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 perhaps make a dummy / blank first from polystyrene or whatever, then use as a "plug" to fit the clear canopy on and trim around as required ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iawnski Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 cut it as near as you can to the shape/ then put canopy over the hole /i then tape it to the fuz in about four places with sellotape / i then use my marker pen and draw a line around the canopy /then i take it off and trim hey presto sorted / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Bell Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 For cutting get yourself a pair of curved scissors. These are sold for trimming lexan car body shells so any model shop that sells r/c cars should stock them. The curved blades make trimming so much easier, even straight lines. It's a bit difficult to explain but you'll appreciate what I mean if you try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
