Thank you. I think I enjoy doing interiors more than overall bodies. They sure are. Worked pretty well overall. Better than fighting with the PE parts.

Interior pretty much done.

Thank you. I already gave up on the fuel lines. HA! I avoid ship models of any kind for that exact reason. I have a wooden sailing ship kit around here somewhere that never made it past basic hull assembly.

It took every bit of patience I could muster but I finally got the wiring done. Now to determine if I want to punish myself even more and do fuel lines..........

Yeah, it took a lot of little stamping. I don't have the patience to do it again. I think I actually made a long thin round strip of putty and made the weld as a totally separate piece because I was just adding a welded seam to a flat part and not adding the patch. I like the way yours came out. The patch is cool and authentic.

Had an hour to kill and wandered around hobby lobby. Found these that I hadn't seen before. The containers are pretty big so unless you are doing a lot of interiors with the same color...

Very nice patching. I tried to do this only once. Used a very small hole punch at an angle to make the weld lines. It worked pretty well to keep the round pattern.

Thank you. It's masking tape put on in a wrinkled way then painted and dry brushed. I coated the masking tape with some white glue to keep it from coming off. When I used masking tape in the past it would eventually peel up. We will see if it happens again. I really need to get back on this project.

I may still have the stl for the misc. parts I worked up. I had kind of catastrophic failure with my 3d printer a little while ago and haven't rebuilt it yet. I dumped a lot of my stl files but there may be some lingering around. I'll take a look and see what I can find.

New pictures should be coming soon. I have done a little more work on the truck but life delayed much of this project.

Chassis well onta way to completion. Not sure if I want to weather it a little just to give it that driven a bit look. I hate this part of engine building but for some reason always feel it necessary.

My condolences on this tragic event. Evidently your pets were not impressed.

What resin do you use? I really need to get my 3D printer back up and running.

Awesome. They look really good. I'll be getting a set.

I tried blue over a black base once and it just made a darker black. I only did two coats of the blue before I changed my mind on it. Don't know what I was expecting but it didn't seem to do much at all.

I thing this would be cool. Want to see you pull it off.

Everybody is cruising right along.... Still waiting on some aftermarket parts to come in the mail but I got most of the engine done. Thought about an engine swap but that Grand sport engine looks too good.

Wonder if electrical tape over the wire wrap would work. (Thinking out loud)

That does look pretty good. I may have to just get some and see. Sometimes there is only one way to find out.

Been rebuilding my 69 F250 1:1 for a while now. If anybody needs pictures or measurements on anything let me know. I built one up using the 1970 F100 base (this kit hadn't come out)

My inspiration comes from a couple main places and is why most of what I build fits into just a few categories: 1. Cars I have owned in my life. 2. Mustangs - I have had a thing for Ford Mustangs for a while. I mostly build different variants and then Mustangs from movies and TV and so on. 3. TV - I got into the TV show Supernatural a while back. It is kinds cheesy and cooky but what I liked was that each character had a specific vehicle that kind of fit their personality and a lot of them were just cool cars. I started building the cars from the show. They each require a decent amount of customization so it is never a straight build. I kind of like to grab onto a theme and beat that theme to death.

Did you ever try these out? I don't know if I want to jump and pay the cost if it is just a 3D looking picture on a standard flat decal.

While going down a rabbit hole of vehicle requirements for 1975 (to see if I needed bumpers to be road legal) I came across this, which was evidently a new requirement for 1975: Brakes All vehicles, except motorcycles, must have brakes that can stop and hold the vehicle, and that are effective on at least two wheels. Now I was young back in the 70s but still don't remember cars driving around with brakes on only 1 wheel.

Watch out for the sniping apps. If you have one that uses your account info you can get hacked pretty easily.

multiple thin coats is the key. You won't cover in one pass. You have to build the paint up over several.
