Jon Haigwood Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 Thinking about do a Surf Woodie Model T with Rattan instead of wood. Any place I could find some 1/24th scale Rattan ? Thanks
Can-Con Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) I don't know of anywhere but here's a site with loads of pics of rattan. You could pick one and print it off in a suitable size on decal paper. I've done that before to make plaid seat insert decals. https://www.gettyimages.ca/photos/rattan?phrase=rattan&sort=mostpopular Edited April 17, 2021 by Can-Con
bisc63 Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Once, I noticed that when I let some 2k primer dry in a paint strainer, it filled the small voids and looked very much like scale rattan.
Tom Geiger Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Is this what you are looking for? Another modeler sent me a small piece, found in the fabric store. I simply glued it in place and bordered it with scale rope.
Paul Payne Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 I think I remember a modeler using dental floss to simulate wicker seats, but I’m not sure the minty kind would be the best choice!? Perhaps using tea for tinting?
FredRPG Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) Cloth might be a good start, like a fine weave burlap, or something similar. Maybe cheese cloth? Edited April 26, 2021 by FredRPG
Richard Bartrop Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 Maybe check out the places that sell dollhouse furniture. There might be something that works.
