Beans

My first transition from 1:35 military to 1:25 autos. Used this one to experiment on different techniques. The paint job orange peeled a bit but I am just saying the 80s rocker got a cheap paint job to go with his stick on hood scoop. Played around with the interior a lot. Iron Maiden seat covers, McDonalds trash, scratch built speaker box and the biggest cassette tape collection possible. This was fun and I learned a lot for future builds.

Found a new way to carpet the floor. Never used flocking so can't compare but so far I like the way mine are turning out. What I have done is take one of those dryer sheets from doing laundry, cut it to shape and coat one side with spay glue. Press it into place. Be careful though as the spray glue will saturate and make it sticky on top as well. Then after it dries, it can be painted. I'll try to get some pictures of how it looks.

In a previous life as a leather worker I found clear plastic they use for the little windows in wallets that works really well for scale models. It is thicker than what you might find otherwise but flexible and will curve well.

Long time military modeller now getting back into it, only with cars. Making things shine and new instead of greasy and old has thrown a new wrinkle into things but so far so good.
