Hey I'm making a 330cl scratch built and need some help with the side panels and the whole main part such as engine compartments and how to do the main shape or of the 330cl like the shape of the curved side panels and so on.
I am terrible with scratch building and even customization so all help would be appreciated

Could try pancaking several thicke styrene sheets together and then carve away to the shape you seek. Unless yore wanting an engine/mechanical compartment, panels wouldn't necessarily be necessary.

I dont know how well that would turn out for me but I was wondering how other people make the curve shape so perfect and have opening engine compartments. But overall I need help with not just that but the whole top part where the engine sits. Thanks

I'm in the process of making a 330CL, it's been on the back burner for now though. I curved the counterweight with my dremal and some files.
