Modelling techniques used on real car (another one)

well, because of my country's unforgiving sun, the demister vents on the dash of my car have pretty much turned to dust, so i decided to try to rebuild them, with STYRENE.

luckily the main frame of the vents was fine, so all i had to do was rebuild the louvres. so i did, and now they look much better.

at the moment they are primed and waiting for paint.
