harti20 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Hi all Today I'll show you pictures from one of my latest builds, a 1914 Stutz Bearcat. The kit was from mpc and according to scalemates it was produced in 1974, which was quite noticeable in some points during building. The seats have been upholstered with very thin genuine leather from an old glove. I hope you enjoy the pics.

David G. Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Excellent work, it looks great from every angle. Did you hand paint the gold trim or is it decals? David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harti20 Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Thank you David The gold trim is a mix of airbrushing and hand painting because the airbrushing did not work out that well... Urs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harti20 Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 Hi all Thank you all for your kind comments. On 10/5/2019 at 2:21 PM, Classicgas said: Stunning! Any engine pics? What was your technique for the wood? Yes, I have. Not too much, but here you are The wood was all done with Vallejo Model Air colors. First I airbrushed Model Air Sand, than I applied Model Air U.S. Brown and Model Air Mahagony with an old, short and bristly paintbrush. The technique is similar to drybrushing but with slightly more paint left on the brush to get some strokes. In this step it's important to brush only in one direction to get a realisitic pattern. After the paint has cured, I applied a coat of Tamiya Clear Orange. The floor was made exactly the same way, but before the Clear Orange had completley dried, I added some Tamiya Smoke over it.
