I glued the dashboard to the hood.


From veneer I glued plywood in two layers, made an instrument panel and a shield under the hood. Then covered with mahogany stain.

The whole unit was painted with cream paint.


I glued the shields.


Fastened the lamp holders.

The dash of the car was made using the papier-mâché method. From balsa I made the shape of a shield, pained primer and fixed it on a stand.


Then he cut paper strips from the newspaper, moistened them in water and put a cross on a cross on the form. The layers were coated with PVA glue slightly diluted with water. On the round edges I used pieces of napkin, sticking layer by layer too.


After drying, he took it off the mold.


He treated the shield with sandpaper, smoothed out irregularities with a putty and painted it with primer.

He started making the hood with the frame. For greater rigidity, I glued additional parts.


Then I pasted over the frame with cardboard from the set. The radiator has not yet begun to glue.


I made a couple more parts, putty, sanded and painted with a primer.

Collected the hood into one piece.
