Revell 1969 Camaro Z28 RS in 1/25 Scale. Black on Black.
VanGoGo replied to Dragonhawk1066's topic in Model Cars
Nice car! I have a weird disorder where my brain gets distracted whenever I see a Baldwin Motion Camaro...the hood in the background makes me drool! -
Inspiring, I built that kit around 1977 and every time I see it I want to build another!

This is the Revell 1:16 scale BMW Isetta, kit went together very nice and lotsa detail. I printed my own decals for the plaid interior and aligator suitcase, other than that its box stock~
-
Finally added some Yenko stripes, I printed some decals...then a friend showed me some clear vinyl stickers...I decided to go with them. They have a nice glossy finish but are a little thick, and didn't lay perfectly flat on curved areas (like the body line on the hood). Overall I like the look better =)

Looks great! I always thought it was interesting how '61 and '62 Corvette styling transitioned into the boat tail look of the '63, the shape worked well on the older and C2 'vettes.

Looks great...reminds me of Marina Blue, one of my favorite GM colors from that era
-
1:16 scale, I think this kit came out around 1987
-
This is an old Testors / Italeri kit, it was a little finicky, lots of test fitting and fine tuning...one of those that you're glad when its done.

inkjet printed cloth interior...test on 1955 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gull Wing
VanGoGo replied to VanGoGo's topic in Model Cars
The cloth used started out white, seems like cotton, thin, kind of reminds me of a pillowcase material. I pretty much eye-balled the scale, I looked at pics of Benz' interiors and counted how many rows of plaid there were on a seat. I figured a 6"square would be enough material, shrank down a photo of a sample I found online (red black tartan plaid) and pieced a bunch together in Photoshop to fill the 6" square. Do a search online for "printable fabric for inkjet printers" and Im sure the ready made cloth would be easier to work with...maybe even turn out nicer? I did a quick search on 'Camaro contour fabric' and it looks like its easy to find sample pics that would work. -

I believe she just used those 'glue sticks' (kinda like a chapstick type tube of roll-on glue?) the paper peeled of easily -

my friend who did the actual printing says she uses natural fibers, and usually the thinnest material she can find, she uses a glue stick to attach a paper backing, but she said there are companies that make cloth suitable for printing which probably turn out better than hers (with a peel-off backing already attached)...but we dont have a craft or hobby store in this area so she improvises.
