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?
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.
@@Memorylanemodelcars2 that was a bit snarky. Didn’t expect that kind of reply. Yes, I’m sure there are many tricks I don’t know which is why I watch your videos to learn those tricks. I admire your skills & techniques. By telling me that doesn’t help anything.
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.
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 are the “tweaks” we need to make to do 1:87 (HO) scale models? A separate video set would seriously help us Model Railroad community folks. Thanks.
Great Video _ Nice Job and Nice Work _ I've got the same dash it came in the Carpenter Sportsman Kit. I'm gonna give it a whirl now. "Thanks" for the help. Merry Christmas 🎄 Bruce Stone Interdyne International K-9 🐾👍
Thank you. Showing how to prepare and use the toothpicks was great.

Great technique - satisfying to watch you paint the dash, glad you didn’t cut.
I’m glad you Enjoyed it!
Great idea with the cocktail stick ! 👍
Thanks for sharing this information.. I've been doing mine all wrong , using your tips I think I'll do much better.👍
A really nicely moulded dash to begin with.

Beautiful job,quite the steady hand,keep them coming
Thank you! Some days it seems to be more steady than others lol
Steady Hands Aren't Required For Techniques I Use It's Multi Later Technique
Dey fantastic da!
Nice tutorial. Great idea to whittle in the toothpick.
Great video! I like the way you make sure your hand is steady before painting
I try to make it steady as possible but sometimes after some coffee it’s not so steady lol
Thanks man, I wanted to know how to do this. Awesome idea with the flat toothpick which I will use
Thanks for the great info. The music is good as well .
👍🏼 no problem
Amazing detail! Looks great
Thank you!

Your skills are amazing. Do you prime before painting
A very helpful and informative video, thank you!
you must not be a coffee drinker because you have steady hands of a surgeon. Nice job.
Thanks! And it depends on the day lol some days my hands are super steady and some days they are shaky
Actually Steady Hands Aren't Necessary to Achieve Nice Details There Are Tricks You Don't Know

@@dunhill1 not Meant to r Snarky there's More than one Way to Skin A cat ,! Other techniques Exists just saying
People say the same about me. No I can't drink coffee but too I'm an electrician
Cool video I'm gonna do this on my 83 camaro dash
Great tutorial! Thank you.

Great video Thanks
May I ask where you got your varnish? I been looking for something less expensive and waterbased
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.
@@CustomScaleModels very cool thank you so much and love your channel

Was the paint thinned?
No it wasn’t. Just use tiny amounts though
Very cool buddy 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Great tip.
What are the “tweaks” we need to make to do 1:87 (HO) scale models?

What kind of paint do you use?
I used Anitas black craft paint and folk art silver craft paint
It was thinned ?
Great Video _ Nice Job and Nice Work _ I've got the same dash it came in the Carpenter Sportsman Kit. I'm gonna give it a whirl now. "Thanks" for the help. Merry Christmas 🎄

what the name of material that u use to make
Good tip
Thanks 👍
thanks
Did you ever think to use a silver coloring pencil that you can find at any art supply store?
I’ve tried coloring pencils and I really didn’t like the results it gives. Paints gives that rich bright color that coloring pencils don’t.
@@CustomScaleModelsi dont like the pencil either.
You can cut bottom of water bottle off very useful for many things
Just for fun.
There are 987 Chevy bowties on a '55 Bel Air dash.
The very part I was HOPING you would be able to show me how to do was the detailing of the speedometer. Oh well.
I love model tutorials…hate the music. Had to put on Pantera after this
0:26 He said “Doo doo”! 💩
Yeah my hand isn't that steady lol
Watch the video, see how he touches his right pinkie finger against his opposite hand. Once you get used to it , it does wonders.
