    Looks great! Thank you for this video. Here's an idea that I haven't seen suggested before: I would be quite interested in seeing a video about detailing a firewall.

    Thank you so much. You are right, dashes are easy if you don't rush, and have very fine tooth picks. I always use very fine paintbrushes 0000. About $5.00, toothpicks are cheaper. Thanks for all the tips, very light layers, sharp toothpicks, and the satin final coat. I will be trying all these. Keep the videos coming.

    I always have the makeup remover sticks and a little solvent to quickly cleanup any goofs. I like the make up remover sticks better than Q-tips because they're finer and have a sharper point to get into tight corners.

    This is one aspect of customizing that I've really been wanting to do. I've tried the seats but I'd really love to attempt/try to do more intricacies like the seat belt straps, the steering wheel, maybe even the speedometer, the radio, vents? Any and all of that would in my opinion make a good die-cast cart absolutely amazing/incredible, maybe even a Perfect casting? Thank you for sharing your thoughts, your experience, and your incredibly talented abilities with us. Much respect to you sir, your work is so finely detailed and has so much incredible workmanship! I seriously am in awe of your ability! God Bless, and Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 😊

    Nice work man! I’ve been intimidated to do my dash on my 1/24 model. I think I’ll do what you did! Thanks! And did you use a wash mix for the silver on the tooth pick?

    • @CustomScaleModels
      @CustomScaleModels  2 роки тому +3

      Thank you! And never be intimidated, you can always fix mistakes and that’s the only way to learn is by doing it. And I didn’t use a wash, just paint straight out of the bottle. Thinned paint likes to run on small objects and it gets in places where you don’t want it.

    Just for your future builds most of the pre '60s cars had a high gloss finish on the interior sheet metal, ALL of it every single piece of metal in the car was a super high gloss. The black dash in my '56 Chevrolet Bel-Air sedan had a finish that was so shiny and deep it would reflect better than the rear view mirror most of the time. And it was that way from the factory too.

      What I used in this video was discontinued but you can use liquitex gloss/matte varnish and it’s the same stuff. You can find it at hobby lobby in the art paint isle or any art supply or online.
