The trick seems to be avoiding any sharp angles on exposed edges... which goes against the grain of wanting detailed bodies lol. I've been doing some digging and that is why alot of lexan bodies "blend" the front and rear and sides to ensure there isn't a sharp angle that won't flex in an impact. Sounds like fun to figure out lol.

Fun Fun Fun ... lol.
Any updates on your exploits?
