Here’s my newest build

Making a realistic-looking wreck ain't easy. 

Getting plastic to bend at sharp angles without warping or shrinking is difficult, as are flat tires.

I've experimented with different gauges of aluminum for some panels, like the trunk lid on this one:

One of my better efforts. One of my friends saw this on my website, and thought I had a 1:1 and wrecked it!

@john-shamblin That is really cool John.  I will experiment and see what happens.  Thanks

I'm flattered that you're interested, John. In some ways, wrecking is more difficult than building them but it's more forgiving too. To make realistic flat tires, I've tried a lot of methods. Remove the wheel from the tire so the wheel doesn't flatten along with the tire, then insert a deep socket 7/16" socket in the tire, them apply heat and pressure to the area you want to flatten. A hot plate works good, but stinks up the house, so I've been using a micro-mark heat gun for tires and the body and frame. I use a Micro Mark Wonder to cut out doors and trunk lid. It cuts through the plastic quickly and crudely, so you gotta be careful to stay in the lines, then clean up the cut with sanding paper or a Dremmel rotary tool.

That's outstanding !

Thanks yall. 

@john-shamblin John, thanks for sharing the info on how you do it.  Nice little tricks of the trade shared.
