Plymouth offered "Mod Top" option back in the day, so that was the inspiration.
Vinyl top texture is painted with airbrush. Then flower nail decals added on top one by one.
Washi tape with flower pattern used for seats.
Floor mat is painted embossing powder.
Self mixed light green paint.

Wow! There’s a lot of detail work in that vinyl top. Awesome work. ?? Ā  Ā  Certainly was one of the more ā€œout thereā€ options available for car buyers back then.

That looks amazing, both inside and out! What do you use to glue your embossing powder down? I use Elmer's white glue or Mod-Podge, and if I paint over it, the paint causes the powder to "clump up" and look like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH.

I too use white glue. Then airbrush the color on top.

Nicely done. Never would have thought to use nail decals, great idea. Love the body color too, not to mention the interior detail. Very nice.

Another stunner Ville. Well done. I love your creativity. Your models have a feeling of "although they didn't exist, they could have". Fantastic
