detail the sleeper

[catd11rpusher]

I have a question, I want to detail the sleeper on my k123 kenworth, what type of material should I use for the curtain and the bed sheets material?

[scale trucker]

cut a old sheet for the bed,,and the curtain maybe a piece of scrap leather or vinyl...

Everything Gordon said I was going to recommend. You can also use tissue or a kleenex for the sheet. Also I use Evergreen scale tile sheet styrene that works well. Or flock it. Here's a T600 I detailed the bunks' interior. Take a look. Just weed out the other WIP pics.

i used, believe it or not, a Taco Bell napkin soaked in water and Testors clear parts cement for the blanket in my Titan 90.

the sad part is, once the interior went into the cab you can't see any of the sleeper detail really.

Good Tip!!! Heck as a bonus the truck will smell like the driver got his lunch as well!!!

A redhead definitely.

Heres a question I have, can I use a regular napkin. also can I spray it with clear coat and let it dry? I will try to find some pieces of vinal. You guys do great work and me being new I have learned a lot thank you so much, all of you.

You can use your imagination and experiment with materials.

I have seen in the past even jeans been used to simulate curtains and blankets. Old clothes can be also used especialy t-shirts because they are soft.

About cabintets and etc you can use styrene or wood....

Man that looks good thanks for sharing, could you open up one of the doors on the sleeper to be able to see the detail?
