I tried flocking years ago and never had any real luck with it. Since I started using embossing powder, I use it, and love it on every build. Steve Looks good Steve.

Super28 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Playing around with the T-bird. Used A Molotow 1mm Chrome Pen on the side trim. Looks alot better in person. Think thats the way I'm going. Should show up good on the pink paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super28 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Not happy with fit of doors or the hinges. First attempt and wire is too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super28 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Cut out hinges and smooth surface. Back to square 1. Guess this is why i can't finish one! LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super28 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 This is the wire I use now. It's K-S Precision Metals. #5005, .025 Music wire. You can see in picture it's about half the size of the original wire. Makes a neater hinge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super28 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 New hinges. Alot smaller. Adjusted doors to fit better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks real nice so far Thanks ,BUT, back we go. The tubing is too big for the wire. Doors are too "loose". Doors "Flop" around. Won't cut it! Ordered some small brass tubing.

speedy5963 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I've had good luck with flocking, I paint a base color down similar to the flocking color, then either use a white glue reduction or bottled clear I can brush on for flocking. In this case I would have painted, either taped off and sprayed or brushed the floor pan flat black, then flocked over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try that next time Sometime this weekend I'll post some pics of some various flocking I've done so you can see the outcome, in my signature, take a look at the 59 Impalas link, there is a shot of the conv. interior pan showing purple flocking over purple paint, not sure if there is a clear shot of the hardtops floor, that tub was sprayed in pearl white, for the black flocking I brushed on flat black paint, then used model master clear coat, brushed that down for the flocking.

Super28 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 First attempt at painting figures. No, I really haven't started the painting yet. Got to do some putty work first on her. It's the "Dangerous Curves" Series, "Claire" Need to get good at it before I get to a build that will have five in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
