Any sugestions/ideas how to make a maxxPro's dashboard in 1/72 scale?
I have a flat dashboard shape but I need some idea to recreate a depth of this part.

If you can really thin it out.. maybe you can drill holes of different sizes to represent the dials and then glue another very thin sheet of plastic to the back of it.. which should give the impression of "sunken in" dials that you can paint.

Thx Hisham. It's a good idea. I've sorted the dials, now I'm working on the rest of the dash and interior. It's not easy in 1/72...

I can imagine

It'll be interesting to see it when it's done.

my first ever resin molds. Cast them today.
Computer looks like it has a hole but it doesn't really. I'll make another one but i could still used this one.

I think the parts look pretty good
What is the kit you're working on, by the way? Any chance of a pic of the kit parts?
