PatW Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 So far................ Had to put alloy tube over the cross frame rails to get it to set square. These two pics above,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the parts need painting to finish.
PatW Posted January 24, 2017 Author Posted January 24, 2017 Thanks Steve, I've just moved this from General under AMT Surf Woody, has anyone built one?
espo Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Great looking chassis and the "wood" looks perfect. Was this a decal or hand painted ?
PatW Posted January 24, 2017 Author Posted January 24, 2017 Thanks espo the woodgrain is a home brewed decal.
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Looking good. Interior colors are very beachy, remind me of Florida. Woodgrain looks good, nice job. Looking forward to seeing the porthole panels installed too.
PatW Posted January 24, 2017 Author Posted January 24, 2017 OK Bill, today's stuff....I kept the cross bars on the roof rack............ I've put a couple of clear gloss coats on the Tamiya Candy Apple Green............ I test fitted the hatch but caught it and the cross bar and took some paint off as it is a very tight fit,so have had to paint again! And put in the tail lights.....................
unclescott58 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Looking good so far. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.Scott
PatW Posted January 25, 2017 Author Posted January 25, 2017 Thanks unclescott58. and so am I.Today............ the paint has dried I've got the hatch to work properly but not the nose light, it just wouldn't stay still! And the steering works........... And the hatch closes! And more tomorrow.
PatW Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 Today's progress, I'm glad I chose the colours as a surfer's vehicle should be bright and cheerfull. a few more additional touches and she's done!
PatW Posted January 27, 2017 Author Posted January 27, 2017 For the finishing pics see 'Under Glass'.
