Ich_Will Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Love the wood trim Dann. I’ve done a few in various Mercs. They don’t come out consistent but that’s sort of the point of burled walnut, right?

I have some knarlwood decals, but I wanted to try painting it......the Commercial Artist in me...lol It looks like yours will work at 1/24 scale!

Expand Here it is, bud!.....my Knarlwood technique.... -Photo 1; Brush on Flat Rust kolor...if it doesn't totally cover, its okay, it will add depth. You DONT want two coats anyway. -Photo 2; I like to dry-brush-dab Flat black paint with a brush that I chopped very short. -Photo 3; I now EXTREMELY lightly Dry-brush-dab Flat Sand with the same brush. -Photo 4; Next step is to add a coat of Clear Orange. -Photo 5; For the last step, I used a Semi-gloss klear over everything. There are cars with different finishes on their wood, so you can pick whichever you want.
Tommy124 Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Thanks a LOT for sharing another great trick, Dann! This will be tried out!
landman Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Thanks Dann. i had tried several but this looks like it gets good results.

c-groupie Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 LT. Dann , i have purchased a Cortina Lotus from down under . There is one now listed on EBay but listed only as Ford Cortina . It is just a curbside resin so paint and Lotus badges are about the only thing you need . GREAT work on the espirt

Dann Tier Posted January 3, 2019 Author Posted January 3, 2019 Hey, everyone!...its back to this bugger.....got the flocking done, and tomorrow I can start assembling the interior! This was the first time I tried using pipping to outline the carpet edges, and I learned that I need to use a slightly larger solder to make it work....the size I used just disappeared under the flocking, so I have to compensate for that from now on. No biggy…..it still looks great!
Dann Tier Posted January 3, 2019 Author Posted January 3, 2019 Again, I was excited to post another mock-up....
afx Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Wasn't sure burled wood trim with charcoal gray interior would work - but it does! Edited January 3, 2019 by afx

Expand Thanks, bud!!, I normally wouldn't have thought so either...especially with a yellow body, but it does, and I got the idea from this one;

iamsuperdan Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I'll be honest, as much as I liked your Pagani build, I'm way more interested in this one!

Expand Thanks, bud!!, i'm glad you like them both!.....I really looking forward to finally having one of these built again.....I love these cars!! I recently got hit with the flu, but I will be back at building again in a day or so.
