Brooklin 1955 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer 2dr htp

Wow! Gorgeous.

Very well done!  I love the color combo.

Beautiful!!  I admire your talent, WAY beyond my skill level.

Ken, that car is incredible. It could be a Brooklin original given their new level of detail. I too love the color scheme—very ‘50’s. Thanks for showing us your fine work.

Outstanding job.  How did you do the upholstery?

Ken, I like it, a lot!  At first I wasn't sure that you had the side chrome correct, so I checked it out.

 Your work is really good!  I must have been confused with the '56, but you have it just about exact.  Well done!  And thanks for posting your results.

@john-quilter. Hi John: I searched classic upholstery fabrics and looked at the images until I found patterns that I liked. I then saved them to a file and reduced or enlarged them until I was satisfied they would look right about 1:43 scale. I then printed them on my ink jet and cut them to size. I either glue them to the seats with white glue or use double sided tape depending on the mood I'm in.

Here's some of the patterns that I have collected. Again, I reduce them where needed.

@kenspear  Clever.  I have used white adhesive backed address label material for this as it seems to stick well to the seats but have never used your real upholstery reduction method.

Beautiful work Ken and I too love the color combination.

Nice work Ken!

Beautiful model & work. Way beyond anything I could even dream of doing.
