Modification of seats Porsche 917KH

[Modellbau Schwaben]

Hello everyone...
I didn't like the seats that much, so I flocked the seats...
The result is much better than the original...
I'm satisfied...

ja, sieht auf alle Fälle besser aus als der pure Plastiksitz. Gut gemacht!

eine Frage:  wie heißt das Material zur Beflockung bzw. wo kann man es besorgen?

I agree they do. The thing i noticed about the seats in the cobra build was between the two sides, either the leather was different from one to the other, or the stitching was done differently or by different hands because the quality difference was very obvious. This would have been a great alternative in that.

Theres a big flocking difference and it looks good. Im still waiting for my pack to show up but i havent even been emailed that its been shipped yet.

Good work!

Excellent.  This is a photo of the restored 917-004-017 car.  Nice match!

Agree with all above . This looks great. I have tried flocking but I am going to practice on a few things and do this. Thanks for sharing the idea ! I have received Pack 5 ( 29-37) so I have some time, not sure what step this comes in.

I ordered and have received some flocking supplies. I thought the Bright Red was too much from this vendor and the Cardinal Red was too dark, mixing them gets me closer to where I want to be. I am going to practice on some random objects before the pack with the seats come . The red mix in the cup is closer but needs some fine tuning.

Hello....Yes, the mixture in the cup looks really good...
I hope that you will also show pictures of the end result...
I'm curious....LG

Finally got back to this build and taught myself some basic flocking. Overall I am pleased and I think it was well worth the effort and cost to do this.

Love the effect.  It looks very realistic, and I think you nailed the colour!
