The dashboard is finally ready for the interior tub. 20230207_155039.mp4

Okay, after looking at my test spoons shot with a couple of different color pearls, I've decided to leave the Tropical Glitz "Coral Reef" base coat alone and shoot 2k clear right over it. Thanks everyone for your input ?
-
Another test fit....
-
So, I mentioned that I would change up the dash just a little bit. I really wanted to bring it to about 1979 with a Cassette Deck..... Not everyone will agree with this, but I like it. I'll probably throw a Cassette tape on the trans hump or something.....
-
Yes, I've been testing on spoons. I haven't decided if I want any flakes or pearl to the base coat yet. And yes, leaving it as is is also a real option. ?
-
Thanks, I'm changing up the dash a little....

More interior stuff....

Took a break from this build to do Tom Daniel's Red Baron. Now the 59 Cadillac is back on the board. First up, finish up what I can on the chassis, then on to the interior

Just finished the Tom Daniel's Red Baron build. What a fun kit to build. Used a few aftermarket parts to make it look better, but kept it as true to Tom Daniel's original concept as possible. I love the look of the 1914 Mercedes Benz airplane motor!

The Red Baron is pau....see pics in the finished thread. Thanks for following ✌️

Everything that is chrome in this pic I painted with SMS.....
-
Almost there, just have to print some decals for the tires.....but I'm lazy right now. ???
-
Yes, SMS like Alclad II requires a high gloss finish as a base. I'll do a comparison next week. Stay tuned.
-
So I decided to soak the helmet it water and the 26 year old decals came off easily. I printed up some new Iron Crosses. Good thing is, the new decals look a lot better than the old ones did. Bad thing is, the SMS chrome paint lost a lot of shine due to me handling it so much.

Thanks, I got it here..... https://icemancollections.com/products/hyperchrome-chrome-cold-tone-airbrush-ready-by-sms?_pos=1&_psq=sms&_ss=e&_v=1.0 Got to make sure your base is absolutely glossy for best results.

Four light coats of SMS HyperChrome shot at 13psi. Let dry overnight, and buffed off the excess pigment (dry spray) and cleared with Alclad II Aqua Clear. The decal looks crappy because it's like 26 years old! ? Yeah, I should have printed new ones....but it's too late now.....LoL
-
Topped the base with Splash Paints 2k Clear.
-
Base coat. I used Tropical Glitz "Abyss Black"
-
Primed. I used Splash Paints light grey surfacer.
-
Stripped damaged box stock chrome plating with SuperClean. Sanded so everything has something to bite.
