Food cling film (like Saran Wrap ) seems to work really well at not sticking to stuff, surprisingly, considering “cling” is in its name.

Depends on the brand. Some of the ones I tried don’t, particularly if they’re thicker, but others will stick to literally everything by static alone.
I use this, and it’s great stuff. It’s cheap and a roll lasts for like 5 years.

I mean they won’t stick to epoxy or silicone et cetera.

Bruh your enclosure is so big you’ll need bigger wheels to lift it up off the ground.
Gotta get those 350mm pneumies

I love this look - reminds me off skyline r34 taillights.
Too bad they’re all going to be out of sync when you actually use them as brake lights
They’re not precise enough to match trigger points

I really like this look too, I thought having one on each side on mine was cool, but this is even better

Thanks guys!
I saw this on another board and loved it so much I just had to copy it.
The R34 definitely was an idol though.
I have to see, maybe I’ll just say fuck it and just use them as lights without the brake function.
I think I will have to fit a camera to see how much they’re out of whack when braking, they’re still cheap chinese lights after all

I figure a giant ghostbuster on top of a scale car wouldn’t look as true to life as the marshmallow man… and who doesn’t love the marshmallow man!?

Lol needs more attention to detail. I’m not convinced this is a viable method for my needs. It was a fun experiment tho, and the part will be usable, so it’s a win

Can you finish the part well and make fibreglass moulds from it?
