[spud]

Richard thats an understatment ;D but its a good way to learn i geuss

and Z i was looking at the seats last night thinking of using tissue and white glue but i picked up the tape and siad to my self i wonder how tis will look

[paulh.]

I'm with Z- great, simple and effective idea.

thanks paul

Great job on the seats, good idea to use masking tape for the covers !!!

[spud]

thanks ag,

[spud]

the texture looksed like it came trough the tape, but right now there painted so we will see soon enough if it workedletting it dry then gona hit it again with a light cot just to make sure and then let them dry fully before i try my hand and sticking fluffy stuff in

[spud]

well.. it looks ok the top part is white and the base bit silver, not that you can tell, this is the best pic i could muster with a dying batteriy

[spud]

ok seats are Done and they look good, just need legs on one more and rust up the legs

[406 Silverado]

wow, seats look great Spud, especially with the slimy stuff

[spud]

thanks rob, they were fun to do had me thinking a bit on how i were gona do them,

[armorguy]

Those seats score a 10/10 !

[spud]

lol thanks ag they do look good and im very happy with them

[406 Silverado]

How did you like using the AK slimes ?? fun eh

[spud]

same as the other AK LOVED it ;D it just makes weathering so easy. sure ya could thin out some greens yer self but this is ready made

[406 Silverado]

yep they are all easy to use. I have tried in the past to mix the slime green but it never looked right....and to mix the same mixture each time and get it the same takes time, if at all you get it right. This just makes it soooo easy.

[spud]

the only thing i dont like about the AK is the price but it does last a long time so it is a long term investment i geuss

[spud]

ty dicky

[spud]
