.linus Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hi everyone. I've finally finished the seats, & I really couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. I'm really happy with how they turned out. Also, I really didn't like how the tub came out when i first painted it. So i decided to start completely over. I like the outcome better the second go round. i'll post more later. My camera battery died. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A21-29 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 what did you use as the cushioning ? they really are good looking bang seats Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.linus Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 what did you use as the cushioning ? they really are good looking bang seats Thanks!! I used mesh from a coffee filter insert. they're like 5$ at target, i think. i don't think its exactly to scale for the size that i'm doing, but i think it would lend itself really well to 1/32. i've seen people use bandaids but when i compaired the threads were way too thick. i just measured it and cut it out. then i used small tweezers to bend it into the correct shape. One thing that i would suggest if you try this meathod, is once the peices are shaped, brush a light coat of crazy glue on to the back of the part and let it dry before you try to attatch it. -this fills the holes but leaves the threads on the outside intact. i learned this the hard way, as it left some random open spots when i started painting. I had to go back and correct them. it was really annoying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
