What exactly did you do to the seats in the Mercedes? It appears you filled in the stitching, but there aren't any pictures showing the finished interior. Did you smooth out all the stitching?

Great work. I like the Jensen. Where did you source the vinyl for the roof? And the wheels look very good - takes a lot of time to model and print wheels. Interesting you incorporated the tires. It looks like cured resin.

Fun! Reminds me of when I was photographing a 1:18 Shelby Cobra and the neighbor's cat came over to inspect.

Forgot to take pics of the interior. The car had "stitching" in the lenght, oppositie to the model. Added that at a later stage. It should look like the Pullman interior in stead of leather.

It is vynil I got from Spotmodels in Spain. Works great!

Hydro dipping with my own designs!

The Fiat 500 is based on Keith Haring. The VW Beetle / Kaver is a combination of Berlin street art and Berlin street map by Jazzberry Blue.

@kraftig, it is quite a of work and you need someone with professional equipment. Finding a company that could print my designs took ages and many tests.

Impressive, though I'm not going to say I'm the biggest fan of the technique. To each their own I guess.

Looking a the carbon Bugatti (coming soon) YES I AM A BIG FAN! Took more than a year to get to this stage.

But now something completely different:

What if someone asks for a 50% discount ?
