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.

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.

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.

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.

Nice work, but... not quite sure why this thread has been revived after 6 years.

Me either. Or why it's in the workbench section........

Nice looking model though!

Or, in the alternative, ... why not?
