Build Progress

Spanjaard
it is looking quite good. what did you use for the flocking? it certainly looks good.
please add the kit to the project, it looks quite tempting to maybe add to wishlist 🙂

Thank you Spanjaard! Should have given it a brush down before the photos wre taken though! I used 0.5mm decitex raw white Nylon Flock Powder from theflockingshop.co.uk
I could not find the exact kit on here to add? Kit is Revell 57 Chevy Convertible "Streetburner" 1:25 scale

Spanjaard
for the look of the box, i think this is the right one
scalemates.com/kits/193569-r..-4270-1957-chevy-convertible
the reference you give in the title seem to match too 🙂
thanks for the link, that shop has a huge range of products!! 🙂

oudlad
No problem mate 🙂 They certainly do have a lot of flock! Decent prices too

oudlad
And thanks for pinpointing this kit on here for me 😉

Spanjaard
happy to help 🙂

Jaroslav K
This is the best flocking I've ever seen 🙂

oudlad
Whoa! Really? You mean the product not my application?! 😉

Alexander Grivonev
That interior looks great!

Taarna Eckart
That's a flocking nice job!!

Jaroslav K
I mean the product and your application as well 🙂 It looks like a real carpet, not like a grass or gravel from others.

oudlad
Cheers folks! Means a lot to me for my first efforts 🙂 Already learnt stuff to do different or better next time

Spanjaard
i am really looking forward the finished model.... 🙂 and welcome back to the hobby (art 🙂 ) and welcome to SCM

Cesar Muniz
amazing interior!

Tim Heimer
Wow! Nice Work! Welcome to Scalenuts...I mean mates. LOL

Thanks again all for your encouraging comments! Got all the chrome parts stripped and repainted, some detailing to do on those too. The hard part I have left until last, spraying the body!! Going to use Zero Paints for that! Gulp! Could make or break the build! But its all part of the curve of learning 😉

Cesar Muniz
I see car modelers doing the body first all the time, looks like is better because you can work in other areas wile it is drying, it really takes long to cure depending on the weather and the paint you are using, I´m building my first car too and I have done lots of mistakes... it is part of the fun 🙂

oudlad
Yes Cesar, I can see that makes sense. I have been delaying the body for a while trying to decide on a colour but now pretty much all else is ready and I must face the task of spraying the body. A little nervous but as you say, its all part of the fun and buzz of it!
