car carpet

[Lee W]

Hey good people,

I'm after some advice, I'm on a mission, I need to carpet a hummer interior in 1 35 (all will be revealed later!).

Anybody got an idea on how to do this?...my brain hurts thinking about it o_O.

Thanks in advance

quickest way is to buy some dolls house carpet (try hobbycraft) comes in all sorts of colours and is self adhesive

Textured paint on card is a good way well not that I've done it I saw it in a mag about two years ago

UPDATE:

Hey people,

Thought I'd ask on everyone's opinion! What do you think?...ok so it's not painted or finished...

I think that looks quite effective Lee.

You been round my house. I wondered where the holes in our spare room carpet came from. And there I was blaming mice (very neat mice mind).

Looks very realistic lee.

Thanks guys, welcome to the world of P-180 sandpaper, I thought it looked a good substitute...hopefully look better once painted!

good lateral thinking there

Looks good, I have some very thin black foam rubber (can't remember what packaging it came from) which looks good. I also have this bookmarked should I ever get the skill to try leather.
