Aston Martin DBS Build Journal Volume 6: Interior Completed

We were hit by a nasty typhoon last Tuesday.  Work was suspended and we were allowed to leave the office around noon.   The storm was so bad that it knocked out the power supply in the area where I lived.  Having no electricity available, there was little to do at home.  I decided to make use of the time to continue work on my DBS interiors while the sun was still up.

Taking advantage of the available light, I proceeded to tackle the dashboard first.  One nice thing about the Tamiya kit was that the interior was divided into several parts making the painting job much easier.  After painting the remaining components, I went ahead with assembling the dashboard and applying the decals. 


The photo-etched pedals came with the kit.
Having finished the front section of the interior, all that was left was to apply the decals on the seats and combine all these with the work done the previous week. 


The trim on the air vents and knobs were from the sticker set purchased from HLJ.
The carpet turned out okay.  Too bad it'll hardly be seen once the body is on.
Now the interiors are done, next up is the car body…
