As a motor trimmer of 38 years, I would love to see the work done on the inside-detail of seats, door panels etc-any chance of a close up please?

[markson]

Hi John People around the world have undertaken some amazing modes to this model, building them up to an amazing standard,as a model there are some things that are just not correct, like the seat that are just a black plastic molding, so some people, including myself have covered the seats in leather, and things like the dash top and door panels,fitted carpet and hood lining

Here is a photo of what I am doing with my seats at the present Regards Markson

I'd like to see hand stitched leather (full grain) in 1:43 scale. Who's up for the challenge ?

[John McKechnie]

You are so lucky you can turn the car over to fit the hood lining, I could be so lucky!!!

[markson]

Hi Bruce The model 1:8 scale, 2 ft long and its weight is about 9 KGS Markson

[markson]

John MC. Do you have the real thing??? Markson

[John McKechnie]

I have done hood linings on the real thing.Generally hood linings that glue to roofs require upside down work. I have many real things in my workshop, but no Astons.

[Bruce302]

That looks very impressive, nice work. One of my favorite cars since seeing James Bond movies.
Is that a "Superleggera" batch on the bonnet ?

Hi Bruce Yes it is the "Superleggera" badge on the bonnet. Markson
