Now to move on to the interior. After building the chassis up, I'm a little let down with the interior. I mean.....it's okay... The problem is going to be painting the contrasting panels on the seats, door panels and dash. LOTS of masking in store for me.

Check it out:

Here's the layout which has now been primed and had the semi gloss black lightly sprayed on for the right effects.

It's during painting when you have to pay for the fact that the interior has a low part count.
If you think about the interiors of modern super sports cars you feel tempted to paint the windows from the inside, lol.
When the sun of culture hangs low even dwarfs throw shadows.

After a while away, I did manage to get the dash most of the way completed. Still have the steering wheel and column to go and then we're off to the seats. I managed to pick up a spare interior so I could make the painting masks for the seats and door trim so that's next up.

Joe, just outstanding!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks my brutha!! Yessiree! I'm really having to play the trick with different shades of black to bring out the details and add depth to this build. It aint like the older cars where there's all kinds of colors throughout the vehicle to work with.
