1950 Mercury Woody

[carsntrucks4you]

Here some pictures of of my Woody project. For the wood I had tried the first time decals from Uschi van der Rosten. Whats missing is the clear coat.

Part of the Mercury will also a little Diorama with a palm tree

Next step will be some paint on the tree

I love longroofs & Woodies are my favorite ones. I'll watch this one. Great choice with the color, yellow really pops next to the woodgrain.

I can't wait to see how this one will end up on that beach scene . . . keep it going.

Looks like a cool build. Your palm tree looks like a few of mine after the cold weather we just had.

Cold weather in Florida? Unbelievable! Can remenber 35F° outside Devil's Ear , but 68° F insde Devil's Ear during a cavern dive. That was cold!

I like the looks of this so far. The woody looks good and the tree is fantastic. Good Work!

This is going to be very cool.

Part of the beach scene will be a deck chair. I'm not sure about the cover fabric, so I have to search the internet for some ideas.

I used 2 x 2 mm wooden strip for the chair

[vwrabbit]

Love it and the added detail of the diorama!

love it!!! did you make the surfboards or buy them?

[Rmodeler]

Really nice color sense you have, I loove the yellow with the wood. Nice. And also the colors of the tree are spot on!

[carsntrucks4you]

Here the finished deckchair. I had printed the stripes on tissue, like I usually do this with my mexican blankets.

Based on a technique that Steve Boutte shared in another forum I made this Tuck'n'Roll

Usually I use half round stripes to replicate Tuck'n'Roll. This method I saw the first time in a posting from Steve Boutte. Steve thanks for sharing this technique.

Materials:

Silicon - use your favorite one

Arcyl paint i.e. Schmiecke or Lucas

Tuck'n'Roll tonneau cover i.e. '59 Chevrolet El camino from amt

Steps:

Make a mold of the tonneau cover.

Pure some of the archly paint in to the mold

Let it dry

Peel it of the mold

Cut to the size that you need

Modified seat from '49 Mercury from amy

Yellow arcyl Tuck'n'Roll added to the seat

cool car it looks nice at the beach.

[Rmodeler]

I dig the sausage-and-mustard colored seats!

[Jon Cole]

Nice! But I am curious if the tree is scratchbuilt or an aftermarket item? How did you make it?

[carsntrucks4you]

There is light at the end of the tunnel. Here somme more pictures of my Woody.
