Hi Geoff,Your models are simply stunning and look like they have come straight off the factory assembly line, may I ask what sort of flock you use please and where do you get it please...
I have tried doing carpets but they never seem to come out clean like yours, they tend to be a bit clumpy, I use a strainer and PVA glue to stick it down
The one I used for the Cooper was made by Detail Master, and was much finer than I have been using, but it went on o.k, I don't use a strainer, but pop the flocking in a plastic cocktail stick holder, and use Solvite wallpaper and border repair adhesive, it's PVA based, but it doesn't pull away from the edges like PVA does, once the glue is one, put the flocking on and push it down with a finger or a small wooden stick if your putting it in hard to reach places or corners, I usually do a couple of coats, once it's dried out, get a make up brush and brush the flocking in one direction, this picks up the pile, then get out the hairdryer and give it a blow over on a low heat.
I tend to buy my flocking off eBay, but on my latest build I needed some 'buff' coloured flocking and no one in the U.K had any in stock, so I've had to order some from down under, BNA Model World in Australia - Your Online Scale Model Centre hopefully it will come next week so I can get on with my current build.
Here's another one I'm working on, it's a
