Jon Haigwood Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I am thinking about building the Testers Coupe Napoleon and would like to get as accurate as I can. The kit calls for the rear interior to be black but from what I can find online it had a patterned interior . Is there a good way to replicate it or should I stick to black ?

Fat Brian Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 The first two things that come to mind are either printing a sheet decal paper with that cloth pattern and cutting out the individual pieces or finding a similar pattern in lace and spraying through it like a mask to create the pattern.

I am not sure if I could find any lace material that work for a smaller scale. The idea of making decals sounds very doable. I haven't found any patterns real close to the photo but I found several that will work. Thanks for the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SfanGoch Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Google "1920s/1930s brocade cloth material patterns". You should find something close enough. It'll be just a matter of repeating the pattern in PS and adjusting the colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks close just have to darken the blue and add some pink spots here and there. Looks better Edited November 12, 2020 by Jon Haigwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDO Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I had that made into a solid 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of decal years ago. I’ll have to see if I can find it. I’m not 100% sure it is accurate for an original Royale. I believe that pattern is from a replica that is or was in the Sinsheim Auto+Technic museum in Germany. I could be wrong on that.
