Ich_Will Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Love the wood trim Dann. I’ve done a few in various Mercs. They don’t come out consistent but that’s sort of the point of burled walnut, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some knarlwood decals, but I wanted to try painting it......the Commercial Artist in me...lol It looks like yours will work at 1/24 scale!

Here it is, bud!.....my Knarlwood technique.... -Photo 1; Brush on Flat Rust kolor...if it doesn't totally cover, its okay, it will add depth. You DONT want two coats anyway. -Photo 2; I like to dry-brush-dab Flat black paint with a brush that I chopped very short. -Photo 3; I now EXTREMELY lightly Dry-brush-dab Flat Sand with the same brush. -Photo 4; Next step is to add a coat of Clear Orange. -Photo 5; For the last step, I used a Semi-gloss klear over everything. There are cars with different finishes on their wood, so you can pick whichever you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-groupie Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 LT. Dann , i have purchased a Cortina Lotus from down under . There is one now listed on EBay but listed only as Ford Cortina . It is just a curbside resin so paint and Lotus badges are about the only thing you need . GREAT work on the espirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Tier Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hey, everyone!...its back to this bugger.....got the flocking done, and tomorrow I can start assembling the interior! This was the first time I tried using pipping to outline the carpet edges, and I learned that I need to use a slightly larger solder to make it work....the size I used just disappeared under the flocking, so I have to compensate for that from now on. No biggy…..it still looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
