Very nice. I found and bought 3d printed stamps to allow me to do this with the foam. I have tuck and roll, diamonds, mini-diamond, biscuit tuck, and mini-biscuit. All I have to do is heat up the foam with a heat gun until it starts to curl then press and hold the stamp until it cools and the pattern is stamped into the foam.
David R Lentz, USA Well, Dan, this was both more instructive and delightful than I had considered. You have a truly refined technique. Thank you for your video tutorial. I have a fascination for U.S. luxury cars of the 1930s, e.g., the Revell-Monogram 1934 (1928) Duesenberg SJ two-door coupé; the MPC 1927 Lincoln sedan (see e.g.,“CZcams build video, Part 1”, Dansmodelworx channel, Monday, 7 August, 2023); the Monogram Packard 1930 Boat-tail Speedster; Lindberg’s Auburn and Cord. I also wish I could find a 1:25th-scale plastic assembly kit of a 1931 Cadillac V-12 cabriolet (convertible) two-door coupé; Captain Kirk (William Shatner) drove (well, sort of) one in the original Star Trek 1960s television series, “A Piece of the Action”, with Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) at his right; amongst others. I never heard of Silly Winks; thanks a second time.
I do use very thin skiving leather on some seats, and it works great, especially if it's dampened a bit first ... then you can work the molded-in seat details into the thin leather. You can even enhance the seat details a bit beforehand with hobby files and such, prior to applying the leather. Secure it down with any good glue.
Great stuff ! Was enjoyable to watch and I use cell phone wire for piping ! and the tip with the saw blade I will try on the van I'm about to start interior on ! Keep up the gear work !!!!
Great tip. Just subbed. I wish I had seen this back when I was building my 37 ford pickup. I used 2mm half round styrene and Tamiya extra thin to make each pleat by hand. This looks a lot easier.
I know the Walmart here has foam also but it is a little stiffer so It dose not hold shape quite as well. If you can find the silly winks, I have found it works best. Thanks 👍
That is so unique and cool! Thanks so much for sharing! Can that foam be painted? Also how are you getting the door panels to shape? Tracing the outside 1st? Thanks!

Really nice. I'm going to have to see whether a similar foam is readily available somewhere here in Oz! 🇦🇺
I know the Walmart here has foam also but it is a little stiffer so It dose not hold shape quite as well. If you can find the silly winks, I have found it works best. Thanks 👍
Wow, that really looks great. Thank you for sharing your skills and expertise.

Thank you 👍
Thank you for teaching us this new to me idea. That looks great.
Thank you 👍
That's shithot mate great job
Thanks for sharing mate
I don't know what shithot means, but thanks I think 🤔. 👍
Interesting process with great results. Since that interior was for a two door shouldn't you have split the front seat back in the middle?
Good catch but I believe on that year and few others the whole back support folded down rather than each individual seat.
That is so unique and cool! Thanks so much for sharing! Can that foam be painted? Also how are you getting the door panels to shape? Tracing the outside 1st? Thanks!
Yes the foam can be painted, I use createx paint to color match the foam quite a bit. Thank you 👍
@@DanDModels Thanks for the Tip Dan. Much appreciated.
This is so awesome just a couple things does that foam come in other colors. What about door and windows handles
Yes, many different colors. Yes you can make and add handles. Thanks 👍
Do the pleats stay impressed or do they go away over time?
They stay.
I’m working on a 1957 Cadillac convertible with two-tone seats. Can you paint the foam?
Yes I use createx paint on the foam often to color match.
Very cool 😎
Thank you 👍
