joose79 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 or you can make your own and use decals. a sliver sharpies work good and sliver map colors work good. and if you dont want to do that you can use a tooth pick and the color of paint you need. just a few ways.

Theo Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Another option is to get images of the gauge faces and scale down to the appropriate size, print out on photo paper and then punch out the image with the appropriate sized hole punch. A dab of white glue and pop the gauge face in place. The sheen on the photo paper to me makes the gauge faces look quite realistic. This works very well for recessed details like gauges, not as good for surface details like radio faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Pretty much as described in Theo's post above... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Great work on the wood grain tom. Can you give us some tips on your technique? It's a technique developed by Irvin Arter that utilizes dry brushing. Once you understand the process you can get good at it. I have a PDF I can email to anyone interested. Either PM me your email address or email my address I have listed below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
