Great stuff. I love the air freshener! I too would like to know how you did the bullet holes.

I just posted a little How-To on the carpet on Fotki:

Thanks for the tutorial on the carpet. What a great use for emory cloth. I like that you paint bottle tells you that you have PG17 or pigment green 17 as the colorant....which really is chrome oxide green...nice to see ASTM doing their job...it used to be that paint manufsacturers could put watever they liked on the label.

[Ken Hamilton]

Thanks, fellas.
Here are links to the How-To for the bullet holes in the back window.
For the record, broken slide-glass windows is an old Gary Nash technique. 
He may have done bullet holes too, but I don't remember.....

Thanks for the how to on the windows.  Just excellent work your usual of course.

I think that No Riders sign is redundant. The grody carpet and bullet holes assure that! Excellent "flavor" Ken!

Thanks Ken. You make it seem so straightforward. I guess its easier than making a 1/24 scale rifle to shoot out the window!

[Bexley]

That's awesome. I've been looking for a way to do safety glass for a while now. (And I'm kicking myself for how obvious that technique is, now that I see it.)

[Frederic Testard]

I lack words to describe how I feel and think in front of your models, Ken. That such a narrowly focused scene can lead to such great feelings is the sign of some extraordinary modelling.

[Ken Hamilton]

Thanks for all the positive comments, guys:
The cab interior is done.  Getting all that crap in just the right places takes more
time than it probably should.  I stare at it longer than it takes to install.









Hope everybody had a great holiday weekend.

Really nice work Ken!

What kind of paper and printer are you using for the maps, etc?
