Great! Something I can do with my issues with the smells of things! (Can't do ANYTHING like the ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL job done on the paint job!! Anyone who hasn't seen that has GOT to go see it!! That is a work of art!!) I'll be the local Hobby Lobby Tuesday morning - I'll have to make a trip in! That is a GREAT idea! And the idea of the saw putting in "stitching" - BRILLIANT. One tip I've found - to replicate either leather or vinyl in seats, do the same thing as the vinyl tops - use masking tape! I get a piece big enough to cover with a bit extra, then carefully press in the folds and seams with my fingernails, starting in the middle - be careful you don't tear it! No need to get it smooth - it adds to the texture. Then paint over it as you would normally. The result is great!
Very nice. I found and bought 3d printed stamps to allow me to do this with the foam. I have tuck and roll, diamonds, mini-diamond, biscuit tuck, and mini-biscuit. All I have to do is heat up the foam with a heat gun until it starts to curl then press and hold the stamp until it cools and the pattern is stamped into the foam.
Great tip. Just subbed. I wish I had seen this back when I was building my 37 ford pickup. I used 2mm half round styrene and Tamiya extra thin to make each pleat by hand. This looks a lot easier.
Same here! I'm just about finished with my 37 Ford pickup ... I've got a 32 Ford 5 window and two (2!) 1950 Chevy pickups with axle drops from Iceman and a rear axle drop-in rear end from VCG by Reese for the 32 - I gotta do this!!
David R Lentz, USA Well, Dan, this was both more instructive and delightful than I had considered. You have a truly refined technique. Thank you for your video tutorial. I have a fascination for U.S. luxury cars of the 1930s, e.g., the Revell-Monogram 1934 (1928) Duesenberg SJ two-door coupé; the MPC 1927 Lincoln sedan (see e.g.,“UA-cam build video, Part 1”, Dansmodelworx channel, Monday, 7 August, 2023); the Monogram Packard 1930 Boat-tail Speedster; Lindberg’s Auburn and Cord. I also wish I could find a 1:25th-scale plastic assembly kit of a 1931 Cadillac V-12 cabriolet (convertible) two-door coupé; Captain Kirk (William Shatner) drove (well, sort of) one in the original Star Trek 1960s television series, “A Piece of the Action”, with Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) at his right; amongst others. I never heard of Silly Winks; thanks a second time.
that looks like real car dam you are great at this how did you get this stuff to do this what a mind blowing work you are doing I never seen nothing like this I have no words for this kind work
I know the Walmart here has foam also but it is a little stiffer so It dose not hold shape quite as well. If you can find the silly winks, I have found it works best. Thanks 👍
Great stuff ! Was enjoyable to watch and I use cell phone wire for piping ! and the tip with the saw blade I will try on the van I'm about to start interior on ! Keep up the gear work !!!!
I do use very thin skiving leather on some seats, and it works great, especially if it's dampened a bit first ... then you can work the molded-in seat details into the thin leather. You can even enhance the seat details a bit beforehand with hobby files and such, prior to applying the leather. Secure it down with any good glue.
That is so unique and cool! Thanks so much for sharing! Can that foam be painted? Also how are you getting the door panels to shape? Tracing the outside 1st? Thanks!
This is a really great how to. I have been wondering how it was done. Question for you. Does pressing the lines really work? I was thinking that the foam would eventually "grow back" if you know what I am saying. So when you press the lines, they stay pressed in?
Yes, they stay pressed in. I have some interiors I did 5 years ago that look the same as when I did them. The silly winks foam from hobby lobby works great for this. I find other brands are stiffer and do not seam to hold shape or (pressed lines) as good. Thanks 👍
Meaning as you completely covered the whole seat with the foam, why not cut a small section out of the middle so the seat and the door panels weren't so tight? I think it would have looked a lot more realistic.
Now that is slick. Really nice finish product. Thank for the demo. Gotta give this a try.
Thank you 👍
Nice job Dan. Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 👍
Great demo, thanks!
Thank you 👍
That's a awesome job , what about the door break on top of side panels .
What a nice job; excellent work. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 👍

Where did you find the stamps?
YOU are a genius! Looks fantastic. I will DEFINITELY try this and also appreciate your experimentation to get to the right place!
Thanks, the foam is fun to work with. 👍
Really cool tips. I have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing! 😎👍🏾
Thank you 👍
Brilliant!

Nice, I hear ya. I did the same thing a few years ago with the half rounds. It works and looks nice, but definitely takes longer. Thanks 👍

Dan you the man! Lol if it ain't Madge Padge no it's Silly winks! 🤣 Excellent job!
Thank you 👍
Wow what a concept! Thanks so much, & thanks for uploading video. Take care

Thank you 👍
Great work, but what do you use for the interior door handles once the foam is installed?
That looks awesome Dan. Love the way you made the stich look with the razor saw. Great show. Ron
Thank you 👍

Thank you 👍
Thank you for teaching us this new to me idea. That looks great.
Thank you 👍
Really nice. I'm going to have to see whether a similar foam is readily available somewhere here in Oz! 🇦🇺
I know the Walmart here has foam also but it is a little stiffer so It dose not hold shape quite as well. If you can find the silly winks, I have found it works best. Thanks 👍
Very cool idea and looks great.
Thank you 👍
Amazing!
Thank you 👍

So cool and great tutorial thanks for sharing. 🙂Thomas over at The Model hobbyist
Thanks 👍
Very cool 😎
Thank you 👍
where do you get that foam at love your work please reply thank you
I get the foam at Hobby Lobby. Thanks 👍
Interesting process with great results. Since that interior was for a two door shouldn't you have split the front seat back in the middle?
Good catch but I believe on that year and few others the whole back support folded down rather than each individual seat.
That is so unique and cool! Thanks so much for sharing! Can that foam be painted? Also how are you getting the door panels to shape? Tracing the outside 1st? Thanks!
Yes the foam can be painted, I use createx paint to color match the foam quite a bit. Thank you 👍
@@DanDModels Thanks for the Tip Dan. Much appreciated.

@@DanDModels Awesome! Thank you for the info. I have been meaning to try this.
Been wanting to know this thank you
👍 Thanks
Great tip
This is so awesome just a couple things does that foam come in other colors. What about door and windows handles
Yes, many different colors. Yes you can make and add handles. Thanks 👍
Nice tip, I just want to know if you can paint this foam.
Yes, I have used createx paint to paint the foam a few times. Thanks 👍
I’m working on a 1957 Cadillac convertible with two-tone seats. Can you paint the foam?
Yes I use createx paint on the foam often to color match.
That's shithot mate great job
Thanks for sharing mate
I don't know what shithot means, but thanks I think 🤔. 👍
Do the pleats stay impressed or do they go away over time?
They stay.
Can the foam be painted? Thanks
Yes, I have used createx to paint the foam many times and it works fine. Thanks 👍
Great, thank you
Please help where do u get the saw blade
Hobby lobby or online. Look up, razor saw.
What for glue did you use?
I used the super glue from Harbor Freight .
Meaning as you completely covered the whole seat with the foam, why not cut a small section out of the middle so the seat and the door panels weren't so tight? I think it would have looked a lot more realistic.
can the foam be painted ?
Yes, I have painted the foam with Createx many times.
@DanDModels great..thank you
Very nice. What did you use for carpeting?
I just kept the carpet simple on this one and used some felt. Thanks 👍
Great tips
Thank you 👍
Very cool 😎
Thank you 👍
