Having completed the chassis the previous week, I went ahead and started work on the car interiors this weekend. First off was to spray the individual parts in “German Grey”. While waiting for the paint to dry, I used the time to review some reference images of the DBS interior.
For this build I decided to have some fun and do some simple carpeting. Usually an interior carpet effect is done by using really fine flocking powder. Unfortunately I didn’t have any on hand; so I decided to use something easier to get a hold of, namely some felt paper. Felt paper, in my opinion, is much easier to handle. Gluing flocking material can get really messy and I wouldn’t want to accidentally apply the material in areas I didn’t need to cover with carpet.

The kit also came with a sheet of photo-etched parts. These tiny metal parts add another level of detail to the finish product. I had to attach a couple of these at the rear of the interior.
Things went well this weekend. Hope my luck persists for the rest of the build. Here is a picture of what I managed to finish.
