hi,

By storing my gallery, I saw that I did not have this car here. I entamnée this project in 2008. I wanted to recreate a "woody" wood-free. I used a 1949 Mercury and a roof 55 of nomads. Scratch hard work! Watching aujoud'hui, I find that it has not aged. The 70 photos are on my Fotki. Enjoy your visit

That 49 Merc looks like it was always so! Perfect built, absolutely perfect! I like the clear styled back most and - of course - the beautiful color with that rims. Love it!

Wow, it looks so right! I saw the photo of the back end with all the putty and I was like "WTF?" but scroll a little further and BAM! Freakin' sweet!

Looks like a well excuted stock box build. You would never know it is not a kit. I bet that if this was available in resin, it would sell pretty good.

thank you for the comments.

Even I got scared. I use a lot of putty. Without being on the final result. I had trouble with the back of the car. I use to cut (Electric Lime), the back of the car. And finally. I realize this model in six months.

I am greatly impressed with this build. The wheels and tires are a perfect choice. Enjoyed the Fotki build up shots.

The little red wagon was quite inspirational and original. Keep up the good work.
