a couple of seats i've built

[spotarama]

not sure if this is where i should have started this thread as its just seats rather than completed cars themselves but i reckon these two are like little models themselves

this is one i built for a salt flats racer i'm making out of the Revell Pontiac Club de Mer, its made from two pices of aluminium cut from an anti-perspirant can cut, shaped and superglued then drilled and sanded to thin the edges for more scale appearance. the alloy i used is quite thick but very soft so its easy to form but holds its shape far better than soda cans.

the next two shots are a seat i made for an Austin gasser from Revell (its getting de-gassered though, not a big fan of gassers) the black seat beside the altered silver one is the stock item that revell have given us in many a kit over the years. i cut slots out of half the 'ribs' and bent thin plastic coated wire to form the head and shoulder braces. holes were drilled thru the sides of the seat to thread the harnesses thru. the floor runners are brass strip. everything is superglued together and brush painted

if this thread should be elsewhere then indeed shove it over to there

what do people think of them ?

Very cool work with those seats. It's been said to treat every part as if they're a model all to themselves!

Here's a neat set of seats. These were in my junkbox so I had painted them to use in my '34 Ford ratrod. Then I decided to make a bench seat to match the back seat that's covered in a Taco Bell napkin. They were custom seats in an early 1960s Chevy kit., I have a second set that's minus the top cushion (which is a separate part). I'm planning on putting mesh in the top centers.

Cool seats, all of you! Never built a seat, always seemed to use whatever they gave me.

[MsDano85gt]

I usually use whats provided too, i just try to "rework" stuff to try and make it close to correct

[Maxicoop]

those are some sweet lookin' seats !!!!!!!!!!!

[MsDano85gt]

I think if i ever am to get another foxbody mustang that I customize i would want to do a silver or black car with the "Zebra" interior
