StevenGuthmiller Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 Thanks everyone! Time to start detail work on the interior. I pretty much got all of the foil applied to the interior parts today. Now it's on to paint detail and a bunch of parts that need Alclad.

Wolf Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Beautifully done Steven, The addition of the rubber seals for the vent windows is a very nice touch. It’s always the clean execution of little details that make the difference. Cheers, Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) Thanks everyone! Beginning to get a little of the interior detailing going. Foiled the finned dash bright work panel and the Bonneville emblem and darkened the backgrounds on both. Also painted the wood dash panel and the steering wheel spokes. Just the beginning of a lot of detail going into the dash and other interior parts. Anybody know why there seems to be a problem with uploading photos onto the forum? Haven't been able to do a simple copy and paste for the past couple of days. Had to post these linked photos from my Fotki account.

StevenGuthmiller Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 Moving along with the interior, today I got a start on the Alclad for a bunch of the interior parts, and while I wait for them to dry, I began a few other details. Got the dash mounted tach ready for a decal, painted and grunged up the ash tray, finished the wood grain on the dash and steering wheel, added the kick panel vents and detailed the courtesy lights in the door panels, and darkened the seat, door panel and dash gaps.

Kah puts Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Ashtray, next I assume you're going to get the engine running, this is so much fun I don't want you to finish this one, can't wait to see what you'll super detail next 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 Just so everybody knows, the only reason that I decided to build this model with the ash tray, is because I decided early on that I wanted it to be a 4-speed car, but I like different, so I wanted to eliminate the console and do a console delete with the shifter on the floor. Non console cars had an ash tray in the section of the dash where the console met. I didn’t find out in time that the piece of ridged trim that existed on the lower dash to carry on the design of the console didn’t exist minus the console, and I had already cut a small section out of that portion of the dash to replace some of that trim. Once I became aware that the trim shouldn’t be there on a non console car, I decided to cut the ash tray section out of the dash, and I figured that while I was at it, I could just as well take a few more minutes and build an ash tray so that I could build it in the open position. So you see, not so much some kind of epiphany, but more of a solution born out of necessity.....with a little elaboration. 😊 Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already promised a half smoked cigar in the ash tray. I seriously think that might be something fun to try. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 Another example of my dysfunction. Once a horn ring has been added, I'll be able to call the steering wheel finished. The first of many "models within a model" to come. Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) Being as I seem to have created a little bit of a stir with my open ash tray, why not take it to the next level and add a partially smoked cigar? Now the extent of my madness is on full display! Steve Edited December 18, 2022 by StevenGuthmiller 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Mind-blowing detail on a very beautiful car. Watching you work is like watching a fine watchmaker perform his craft. Just one comment on the cigar, hope it isn't glued in place because it should be over the front of the tray and not the back side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
