Seats


Wrinkles
Adding a wrinkled texture to a smooth kit seat is very easy.

Paint the part with liquid cement (I use Tamiya Extra Thin Cement) and then press wrinkled plastic food wrap into it. Press and move the food wrap around in a random pattern. Then pull the food wrap off and what is  left a wrinkled texture in the seat. Once dry, lightly sand it to remove any high spots. Paint and drybrush to enhance the wrinkle texture.

I got the idea from a home improvement show where they were applying paint with rags to give the wall a wrinkled cloth effect.
