Dann Tier Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Interior time! -Photo 1; I didnt really wanna use decals for the guages, so i decided to use kolored pencils to detail them, then added clear gloss as the lenses....looks better in person. I got the seat buckles from a Fujimi Countach kit. -Photo 2; Painted the vents semi-gloss clear...the seam i added a cross the top added some more realism. -Photo 3&4; Something new i've been doing lately, is to kolor the ends of the buckles. I tried paint before, but it easily came off, so thats when i had the good idea to mix black acrylic paint with canopy glue -works Magic!!...dries fast, and has a slight height to it, that replicates the real thing quite well! -Photo 5-10; Its all coming together!...door cards...seat belts...interior light...shifter...peddles... -Photo 7; To hide the molded in door cards, i decided to paint the top edge of them with rubber.....now they are weather stripping. -Photo 11; These coilovers will add a bit more visual interest to the back end, and help it to look a little less "battery kit like"...just need to add the bolt heads. **I could have added a bit more to this build, but i've been feeling like i really just want it done, which is pretty rare for me to feel. I do think i still accomplished what i set out to do here, which was to just "tweak" the kit. Edited May 17, 2020 by Dann Tier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hey, everyone!, all thats left now is to detail the exhaust tips, and add the door mirrors!!....the shocks i added really hide that motorized look! -I remember the turnsignal lenses fitting perfectly on this kit, but mine are arched too much towards the front, so i will either dig out an older pair that i have, or flow matt black canopy glue into the gap to help conceal it....either way, it will still look killer!!

David G. Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 You've done a bit more than "tweak" this kit, looks more like a complete overhaul. All of it well done, of course. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkychiken Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Looking Good Dann, another one close to the finish line... Good tip mixing pva with acrylic on the buckles, and an excellent save on the flocking. My flocking Congress out similar to the one in your first image - I can blame the material now!
