LOL!!!

It's been a while since I've posted any real updates but the beginnings of the interior construction are under way. Here's the progress on the door panels. I mixed up some dark grey and thinner and outlined all the recessed areas so when I shot the white over the door panels it would make those areas stand out a little more. A pre-shading of sorts.



I found a piece of adhesive backed blue metallic sheet that I applied and cut out around the edges for a neat and clean door insert panel. Then I masked off and painted the door speaker grilles black. I'm still planning out the rest of the interior scheme.

Your posts are amazing, Joe! So happy to be reading these updates, and following your choices and ideas very closely. I learn so much from you! TGIF!

Thanks Bruce. 'Preciate that buddy!

I did the same thing with the seats as I did with the door panels on pre-shading all the cracks and crevices with a dark gray, then a medium coat of white followed by a coat of semi-gloss clear. I'm trying to accent the blue lightly throughout the interior without overdoing it. Keep in mind that the seat belts and dash will be blue as well. I had some soda bottles so I drilled two holes to simulate cup holders and slipped a couple of sodas in the center console. Window switch and shifter bezels were picked out with Chrome BMF.



Radio face with CD halfway out of the slot will be going on the blue panel at the front of the console. Weird how Revell didn't have a decal slide or radio face molded on it.

It’s so... WHITE... Definitely need shades in there.

It’s so... WHITE... Definitely need shades in there.

It won't be in a couple of days. After the blue flocking for carpet, the blue seat belts, blue dash, foot pedals and maybe a magazine and even a set of shades that you were talking about it'll tone right up with the correct color balances.

Just needs some blue suede shoes...

Phase one of the color balance. There'll be a light blue flocking applied to the floor by tomorrow and some extra details added.Then the floor mats will also be thrown on both sides of the floor.
I removed the soda bottle from the passengers cup holder and glued a piece of black sheet styrene on the bottom of the interior tub at that location to simulate that little black foam pad that's usually at the bottom of cup holders. I may put a bottle cap opener in there as well.

Good gravy! That is a fantastic looking interior, Joe! Amazing work balancing those colors; do you find it difficult working with such a clean white, I mean, wow! That is so clean!!! I was checking out a fella’s chassis paint job and he uses photographer’s white gloves to handle glossed parts... is this the best way? How do you store your work in progress? Thanks in advance for any answers and I look fir ads to more!!!!

I think you need a beer in the cup holder...
