Just had time to take a quick snap of how the interior is looking, will need a dull coat but I like to leave it for a few days before I get that sprayed.Onwards now with the exterior, and the wheels...

Ray ,great looking build going on ! The seats look perfect as does the rest of the interior. Brings me back to that killer job you did on the 110 office a while back. Sure is great to see the master back and in full swing already,cheers Trey

[Guest]

Many thanks for the support and very kind words Trey, very much appreciated.

Beautiful job so far Ray. It's good to see you back where you left off!

I've used tape on seat cushions but never foil. I love the effect,it really looks abused.

Cheers

Cracking idea Ray, will keep that stored for the future.

Are you doing the chipping the normal way or do you have an inovative method for that too .....

[Guest]

Many thanks Steve and Colin, thanks for reading...no secret method to chipping ....I just use a mix of vallejo chocolate, with a touch of black, then the trusted sponge method, I use 2 sponges, to avoid the chips looking to even. I do over abuse my builds, but in my mind I look at my builds as if they are at the end of the war, pretty neglected, abused and un loved.

I do things an odd way, I sponge first then brush chip after...that way I sort of get an eye of where to touch up and get a worn feel.

Thanks for reading guys.

Thanks for the insight to your method Ray,

I tried using a brush after the sponge method but it looked a bit odd.... seems more practice needed methinks

[Guest]

Just a little update on this, had time to get a bit more done on this tub, just worn the inner with some muck wash, and did the same to the wheels.....the wheels will be getting a further weathering with powders when the wheels get fixed on.

Thanks for reading.

Stunning work Ray

[Guest]

I'm thinking there's gonna be loads of tinfoil covered seats appearing around here soon :muha:

What a genius idea though :respect1:

[Guest]

That weathering looks stunning, very well done, and love the idea with the tin foil!

[Guest]

that really looks amazing and like it's been sitting out in the field and beat up for years. i'm going to use that foil trick on my current project. very nice.

[Guest]

Thank you all for the kind words, and encouragement....cheers guys..

Plus I have now found the Thanks button, which will help me show my appreciation.

Wish I could take credit for the foil trick, its been a number of years since I learned that in an article.
