old leather seats
Posted: Tue Aug 06, 2013 12:37 pm
just read Bassmans tip on making seats look old so I thought I would share my take on said subject
firs we take a seat this is a 1/24 mini seat Tamiya
next i cover it with scotch masking tape this give the seat texture
with a cocktail stick I pick out all the details
and trim off the rest
again just like Bassman does I give the seat a coat of tan light brown
then a coat of semi gloss X18 in this case
then with a fine sanding stick or emery paper very lightly rub the areas
where you want the wear and if you want with a sharp knife cut the tape and peel back
put a dab of paint to look like old foam .
hope this helps sorry about the photos I used my Iphone and the best part is
if it dont workout right first time just peel off the tape and give it a nother go
