MB 300 SL – part 4

I painted the trunks in the same red as the interior and then painted the rims with antracite. All the locks and fittings was painted with chrome. I gave edges around trim and fittings a wash with Agrax earthshade and the chrome got a a few drops of Tamiya black panel liner.

I then used masking tape to make the straps that holds the trunks in place.

I had an idea of how I wanted it to look but still managed to do it wrong.

I also played around with the figure a bit.

I do stuff like that when things are drying. The parts to the buckle was made with thin parts of plastic rod.

I changed the direction of the belt ends and painted the buckles with chrome.

Just recently I added the chromed metal decal and the MB star on the steering wheel.

Maybe a little hard to see in that pic, but it’s there. It was a bit tricky to get both in place.
I’ll give it a touch of clear cote later and then, once dry, I’ll glue it in place.
