brodie_83 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Thanks man, I'm trying to get as realistic as I can without going too far and screwing it up. An update...without pics for now...I think I'm gonna have Revell send me a new seat. I tried flocking the red inserts with red flocking to make it look like suede, but ended up looking more like crushed velvet or something out of a dumb lowrider. I left my camera downstairs, so I'll upload the pictures in a lil bit. I was very impressed with the masking job I did though...the black with red looked awesome! I think it'll be easier to order a new seat than to have it soak for a long time in Dawn Power Dissolver. Oh well. Now I know that I need to get more of that cheap flat black from Kmart because it had the perfect sheen of leather, and also need to get a flat red. I used gloss simply because I was flocking over it and laying down a layer of flat clear with a brush before flocking so it had something to stick to. Oh well...worse things have happened I guess.

brodie_83 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Sorry for not uploading the pics of the one seat lastnight...I was way too tired. Again, I really love the black with the red inserts...I just need to keep them painted and not flock the inserts. It was something I wanted to try, but ended up looking like garbage. Here's the pics: And with the flocking...ick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I agree, the flocking did not look good. The red paint looked pretty good I think. Hey, ya never know till you try right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruleworld Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 hmm, not sure the best way around the flocking. perhaps wash it off and just dull-cote the red paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowtienutz Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Bump any updates? I just got my GT500 today thanks Hobby Lobby 40% off. Pretty simple kit Revell could have done a much better job. Lots of stuff to research to make better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodie_83 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Nope, sorry. Not any updates. I have put aside this build for another build...I get bored too quickly with builds and need to jump back and forth to keep myself interested.

brodie_83 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 I actually traded it a few weeks ago, so this build is never going to progress. LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
