Lyle Willits Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Well, it'll be in a box inside my Magnum. See, Gregg and Tom aren't the only ones who can play with resin wagons ! Carbon Copy Resin's '49 Merc wagon. I added a chrome strip from plastic (just to be different). Wheels and tires are from a Revell '32 Ford kit. The wide whites were painted with Polly Scale acrylic white. Paint is Tamiya gold with several coats of Duplicolor acrylic clear lacquer. Tailights are red glass beads frenched in. The doodads from Dudek are aluminum exhaust pipe tips. Again, just to be different, this is a '69 Olds 400 c.i. with the twin-snorkle air cleaner from the new Revell '69 Nova. Seeya in Dayton and Maumee.
Tom Kren Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Very cool build lyle cant wait to see it up close! Mine is almost there !

Raul_Perez Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! I had to wipe the druel off my keyboard....I am not a wagon fan but I like this......Excellent job building this car. It looks absolutey perfect in every way I'll second that!! Great job, Lyle!! Everything comes together really well!! The tailgate design is really well done!! Thanks for sharing,
MonoPed Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I like that!! Might just steal the idea of a chrome strip for my Merc kit
raisin27 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Interesting piece, I look forward to seeing it. Raisin
Lyle Willits Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 I'll second that!! Great job, Lyle!! Everything comes together really well!! The tailgate design is really well done!! Thanks for sharing, I can't take any credit for the design. The master was done by board member, ARIEL HERNANDEZ. The resin body had NO FLAWS whatsoever, and looked like Revell plastic. I just painted everything and glued it all together. Thanks to ALL for the very nice comments.
John Goschke Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Oh man, Lyle, that is gorgeous! The chrome trim strip is the perfect touch!
Fernando Roman Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I don't like you anymore..... Looks like Lyle popped your balloon LOL!
67PontiacGTO Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Looks like Lyle popped your balloon LOL! Hey man how many coats of clear are on that thing? -Clutch
Lyle Willits Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 I don't like you anymore..... But you don't like me any less either. Smootch!
Lyle Willits Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 Nice job as usual Lyle.Good luck in Toledo.Are you planning on taking pics for your photo album????I can sit for hours looking at your album. As always, I plan to take as many pictures as I can until my old back and knees give out. Then I'll sit outside the display room, which is always about 90 degrees, and bitch about getting old. I won't hear who or what won best of show or what next year's themes are. Then we'll go to dinner and I'll over eat. Then I'll brag about taking the wife back to the room and rock her world, when in fact, she'll probably help me get my legs out of the car and I'll be asleep in about 2 minutes. GOD! I LOVE GOING TO TOLEDO!
