Week 6 A small update this week – the seats are finally finished. Finding the right color turned out to be more difficult than I expected. At first, the brown paint I chose didn't seem to match the reference photos. However, after watching the movie again, I realized it looked much closer to what appears on screen. Then I remembered something important. The reference photos I have were taken many years after the movie, when the actual vehicle was offered for sale. According to the description, it had undergone a partial restoration, and judging by the interior photos, some parts had been repainted. The vehicle was also nearly 30 years old at that time and had probably spent years being moved from place to place, possibly even stored outdoors. It's very likely that the original seats had faded over time due to sunlight and age. With that in mind, I decided to stay faithful to the movie rather than the later photographs. While watching the film once again, I discovered another small detail: two openings beneath the headrests that I had completely missed before. They may hardly be visible on the finished model, but I decided to include them anyway. Finally, I used a gold marker to highlight the edges of the seats, another subtle detail that I noticed in both the movie and my reference photos. The seats may not be exactly as I originally imagined them, but overall I'm very happy with the result. **Materials used this week:** - Black spray paint - Brown spray paint - Chrome marker - Gold marker
