Re: Orange 7 WIP

Well, to me the scale of the splotches is on the small side for Giraffe on this project. I was going for "animal print look", over replicating an actual hide. And Cow just didn't seem appropriate for this ride... And thank you!


Here are some more parts I used SMS Faux Fabrix on for texturing. "It's not just for seats anymore!"

The rear bulkhead received several very wet coats, (let dry between coats), to replicate the rubberized spray coating/insulation. (Keeps, stone chips from damaging the C/F too.)

The transmission took a light coating for a fine sand-cast look, and the front of the engine/head got a matching amount as was applied to the block.

Here’s the finished rear bulkhead installed in the frame.
The rivets are raised on the floor and rear panels. I lightly sanded them to allow the aluminum to show through the decal with some 1000 grit sandpaper.

SMS 1/12 Hi Def C/F on the “interior” side.

Stay tuned... - Mark
