mademan Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 did the carpet for the trunk and interior pan, using a mixture of black and grey flocking, I also used a flat clear on the seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LacrosseBoss Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 great start. The photo-etching really brings this to the next level. Also, I love the carpeting. Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsc Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Great job so far! I really liked that you mixed your own flocking. Much more realistic in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mademan Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thanks for all the comments guys. I Finished up the bumpers for the 86, I had to cut/trim the fog light bezels to accomodate the etch grills that I painted black. I think I may go back and blackout the outer trim of the bezels though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalemodelworld Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Looking awesome. Love the colour, the etched parts and the carpet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mademan Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 I decided against the Cabon fiber hood/roof/trunk... mostly because I want to have this done for a show in less than a month and I cannot get any microsol locally, so id have to order it and wait, and I work away from home 2 weeks, and home 2 weeks, so I wouldnt have time. I went and painted the hood and trunk green to match, and added the metal transfers to the trunk lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mademan Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Im thinking of using these Aoshima Volk TE-37s.... not sure yet, I do like the look of them with the green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
