49 Mercury Panel

[Modlbldr]

I've been working on this one for the last month. Converted the woody wagon to a panel. Airbrush painted it a pearl yellow nail polish. Clear is also nail polish.  Wood is Krylon Matte Coffee Bean with the kit decals. The interior is done with the exception of the seats. I used the Caddy Sombreros from the 49 Mercury Sedan.  Just installed the glass. Hoping to get this done by the end of next week.

Looks Great in those Colours!

I'd never imagined this kit as an SD. Great Conversion.

I like the colour too. Nice detailing on the interior.👍

Like the color and finish. The sedan delivery conversion looks great.

Got the interior finished today and made the frenched headlights by using aluminum tubing and the lenses. Getting closer. Work on the engine next.

Your leather seats look amazing - that must have taken quite a process, to come out that realistic!  Looks just the old chair that the owner of a small pool hall back home used to sit in.

Thanks! It is a process that I copied from someone. Use the wrapper from Reisen candies glued on with wood glue. Very simple, but effective.

Very clean work! I tend to avoid yellows, even in industry, it is a tricky color.
