Something completely different for me as it a car I haven't done before.
I have opted for volkswagen brilliant orange using hycote double acrylic car spray which for once I have got a decent finish.
I have done all the body colored parts.

That finish actually looks very good. I look forward to the rest of the build of this iconic car.

Great start , you bet I'll be following your next move .,.Go,go,gooooo !

Some engine parts painted and ready to be assembled.
And said parts altogether.

Excellent finish on that body shell Peter. Engine and transmission is coming on nicely as well.

Peter,
Nice finish on the paint mate. I will follow along.

 

[peterairfix]

Engine finished and in the chassis along with the front suspension.
Started on the interior and I have tried a new technique that I found on YouTube its sort of worked but I need to refine it.
And completed

 

[scottie3158]

Peter, the carpets look good, what's the technique?

 

[peterairfix]

I used pva glue then covered with embossing powder I still have to refine my technique but it seems to work.

 

[scottie3158]

Peter,
It looks very effective.

 

[peterairfix]

I use this as a guide
