PistonDog Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Latest completion Thanks for eyeballin' The interior was sprayed with "Make it Suede" spray paint from any craft store. It does run hot and has a nice maple syrup smell. Anyway it comes in a few shades and is about $7.99 for a krylon size spray can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistonDog Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks for the kind words. The color was a custom mix. started with humbrol platinum bronze (i think) mixed with testors champagne. diluted with 50% thinner and airbrushed / gloss coated.

sak Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Small pictures but other than that..pretyy badass !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 You wouldn't by chance be able to post bigger pictures would you? I agree. You seem to have built some very nice models, but it's hard to see all your work with such small pictures. Is there a way to make them bigger? Maybe one of our members or a moderator could help... Also,any chance we could see some engines, chassis and interiors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistonDog Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 I was lucky to get the pictures to post at all. I tried to use the upload program from this site and it just didnt work. I had to post them to flickr and then copy and paste. I tried to copy and paste to my post from my hard drive and that didnt work either. I'll try to work it out somehow. Thanks for the kind words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 There we go! I'm glad you got the picture size issue sorted out. Thanks for the Make It Suede tip, Jim. That interior looks comfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 That Make It Seude looks really good for an interior finish. And the color you mixed up looks about right for the Saddle Mist. Very, very nice build. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
