Old Buckaroo Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 That has to be the most realistic miniature dash I have ever seen. Looks to be right out of a 1/1 truck. Very nice work !
Old Albion Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Excellent!! Superb detail and it looks so real!!
bandit1 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Awesome dash! looks like you hit it with gold foil and painted a couple different colors starting with a black then to a dark brown?
bigred63 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 That is an Awesome looking dash. What a great eye for the detail. Keep up the good work.Ronnie
Jonj238 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Beautiful dash, better than the decals included in some kits. You need to share the how to with the rest of us.
cowboy rich Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 That dash is awsome can only hope you do share your secret.Rich
JTRACING Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 Thanks guys, I've just be following a guy on YouTube that's been showing dash detailing so I used some of his method. Only I prefer to use bare metal foil as the base layer so you can get the chrome trim effect. It's just black washes in the gauges.for wood grain I paint the whole area in tan, then put random lines of dark brown and black around. Then go over with really thinned down tamiya clear red, or orange depending on the color you want the wood, clear yellow could be used to,Then I clear everything and then go back with black artist oil to add some depth. Just add it in some spots right from the tube and lightly blend it out. I don't use it like a "wash"
10thumbs Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 James, I'll take one, thanks. Real nice of you to offer. (Ahem, better get a lot of them made up though, looks like some guys are interested!).
Olskoolrodder Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Wow...that dash really looks 1:1! Nicely done!
kilrathy10 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Very, very nice.....That looks so good.....You boys can really do up some stuff....
truckabilly Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 One of the nicest dashes I have ever seen. That is real beauty.
