This is a totally amazing build. I love the seats and the decals...and the body...and the wheels! Very nice work! Thanks for all the great photos.

Re: 2000 Mercedes CLK DTM
What did you use for the faux alcantra material? Care to give away any secrets?

Re: 2000 Mercedes CLK DTM
Great stuff. The Merc Original-Teile liveries are amongst the greatest ever. Any difficulties with the decals?

Very nice, looks good! The decals must have been very hard work.

Re: 2000 Mercedes CLK DTM
yeah sorry, can't type worth a lick.. I use flat color brushed with light sprinkle of flocking to simulate alcantara.

The decals are a royal paint in the rear, most importantly because the cover 99.9% of the body... the front and door decals were especially painful. I went through a bottle of microsol

It's almost perfect. great job with the CF.
One day i hope i can put down decals that well, right now i just put them in a folder and pretend there not there b/c i have a time. But you have mastered the art.
