sportandmiah Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 How should I go about reproducing this checkered pattern for this 1960 Impala? Stumped.

Jon Cole Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Scale Motorsport has a good selection of decals... http://store.scalemotorsport.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=sm&Category_Code=DECALS
sjordan2 Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) Looks like a classic houndstooth pattern. You could download something that looks close and make your own decals on your computer. If you paint the seat back the proper base color, then print your pattern to size on clear paper, you should be good to go. For my Mercedes Gullwing, I replicated the racing plaid upholstery on the computer and printed it on inkjet cloth (for 1/16 and 1/12 scales). http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&biw=1316&bih=778&gbv=2&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=houndstooth+pattern&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=g6g-m2&aql=&oq= Edited May 27, 2011 by sjordan2
Scale-Master Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 The Revell-Monogram '60 Impala came with that interior on the decal sheet...
mr cheap Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 pay some body to make a decal sheet thats ez and looks good .....im old school paint your 2 tone blue ..then your flat white dry brush black till it looks right but thats hard to get right ...jr
W-409 Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 That Detail Master's stuff looks very good to me, must order one set of it. Which version has that kind of decals? The original, newer Lowrider release or the California Wheels kit? Or does every kit have those decals, I mean just black and white checkered pattern? I'm thinking of building a replica from dad's '60 Impala 2D HT Sportcoupe, it has that kind of checkered pattern.
Scale-Master Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 It came in the first issue (1998? maybe). Not sure how many subsequent issues contained them.
Danno Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 The Revell-Monogram '60 Impala came with that interior on the decal sheet... Yep. No sense beating yourself up with more complicated methods. Just get/use the kit decals from the RevMono '60 Impala; and you're done! Simple as that.
sportandmiah Posted June 22, 2011 Author Posted June 22, 2011 It came with red seat decals, so I guess I'll bite the bullet and buy.
