S10man Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 The basic kit was the Monogram '30 Ford Woody. From the windshield back the body is all handmade using birch and maple, with multiple coats of shellac and clear lacquer. The tail gate is hinged and operable. It was a fun project which combined my woodworking interests with my modelling. Thanks for viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyclub Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Sweet!! Awesome job on the wood work too very cool to see that when that is done! Manny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonoPed Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 That's cool!! You and I took the same approach going over the rear fender with a single piece of wood. I wanted to splice four pieces together, but was afraid it would be too weak and break while finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to splice four pieces together, but was afraid it would be too weak and break while finishing. I tried a couple of different ways Brian, including steam bending and laminating, but they all ended up too weak as you mentioned. So I just bandsawed them out of solid stock.

Gluhead Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Very cool. One of these days I want to do that with one of the 1/16 kits. And yep, I figured it'd take one piece on the fender frame, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
