68shortfleet Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 This one started as an experiment with attempting wood grain. Basically built out of the box except a couple things. Split the front bumper and shortened the front and rear number mounts to get them a little closer to the body. Also cut the headlights out and moved the up 0.180", they just look wrong out of the box. Criticize the woodgrain please, that's what started this build.
shoopdog Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Your wagon turned out great and there is nothing I see wrong with wood grain. COOL build!
DumpyDan Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 It looks good, but that's a lot of work on the headlights, but the woody looks great.
Jantrix Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 I think your modifications are a huge improvement on this model. The wood grain areas look spot on in my opinion. Great color choices. I think it's a winner.

GerN Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 You've made this look very realistic, not an easy task. Your work on the grille and wheels, wood grain and raising the headlights all help.
espo Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 I agree with everyone else on the Headlights. That change alone made this a much better looking and realistic. The only suggestion I could offer on the Wood Graining would be to add some Wood Grain effect to the dark Brown colored portion, just a very little as sometimes less is more if you know what I mean. Well built.
68shortfleet Posted May 17, 2018 Author Posted May 17, 2018 Thank you all for the positive replies, I was hoping that's how it would go. I have a couple cars I want to build that require some woodgrain, so this car was just an experiment for those.
TooOld Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 I completely agree with what has already been said , your modifications helped immensely and the wood grain looks excellent ! Also the solid brown framework does look out of place , it needs some grain in it too !
DeeCee Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Very nice job on it, i like this kit and you have enhanced it well, and good work on the wood too.
