Steve Keck Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) All American Models resin; donor kit is the AMT ’40 Ford sedan The roof was mastered using masking tape. Hopefully I improved it with surgical silk dyed black with Ritz dye. The structure of the woody was cast in resin without any wood grain detail. To add the wood grain I first primed and painted it with Testors Light Ivory. Then I scribed the wood grain with four sewing needles CA glued together. Next I washed the frame with raw umber and sealed it with two coats of Future, The flat panels are wood veneer. Flathead Ford engine is from Revell’s 40 Ford Street Rod kit #2894. Replica and Miniatures tires, fuel pump, dash, door pulls, handles and window cranks. Maybe chrome rings and hub caps – I forget – please forgive me, Norm.

charlzrocks Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Beautiful Build! I really like the color and wood effects!
aksarben Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Very, Very nice. I agree about the wood effects, real convincing.
tuffone20 Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Wow you did an awesome job on this one!! It looks just right and the wood detail is really good.
Zoom Zoom Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Outstanding model, and Lee Baker (the man who mastered the woody for AAM) would be proud
Guest Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 That is beautiful!! How about some engine, chassis and interior pics?
Steve Keck Posted June 9, 2010 Author Posted June 9, 2010 Not bad, I guess, for a model with a panty hose roof... My silk is woven. Your panty hose are knitted. 'nough said?
Steve Keck Posted June 9, 2010 Author Posted June 9, 2010 Don't get your knickers in a twist Steve... Twisted Knickers! Now there's an avatar opportunity!
Danno Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Twisted Knickers. Wasn't that a heavy metal band from 'way back?
Greg Cullinan Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 This is a beautiful model here.I'm not usually into the Woodies but yours stands out to me.
Terry Jessee Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 That wood effect is fabulous. Outstanding work.... T
Jim Gibbons Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 A beautifully built, elegant looking model. The sliding rear windows are a great touch.
Scalper Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 great job on the wood. it looks real. like the green paint too.
Jairus Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Nicest version of AAM's little woody I have seen built! Way to go.
Lyle Willits Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Very possibly the best woody model I've ever seen. Fantastic build!
Nick F40 Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 You would post up pictures of your woody....you sicko! Very sweet, I like this a lot. Definetly can't wait to see this one.
Scale-Master Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 This is one of those "sleeper" models. Looks nice but not a lot of gotcha from across a room. But does it ever suck you in once you start looking. One of the best Woody models I've seen, maybe the best stocker. The wood is amazing.
Harry P. Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Twisted Knickers! Their first album is awesome... "But seriously, folks".... that is one beeyootiful model! First rate in all respects, just about perfect as far as I can see!
Brett Barrow Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 This model makes me wish I had a Woody in the collection. Maybe I'll pick up the '48 when it's re-issued, I've got to try that veneer technique!
Agent G Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Gorgeous! Can you give us some more on how you did the roof? Pant Pant Knickers Pant Pant......................... G
