Ramfins59 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Thank you guys. This is actually the first diecast that I've ever worked on. It's been a good learning process for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Today I made and installed the rear side windows on the wagon and added chrome strips to represent the dividers for the sliders. I used clear acetate from a box of Christmas cards as I planned. I attached it from the inside with non-fogging CA glue. I also detailed the headliner by first painting it Gray. Then I detailed the molded in dome light with some BMF and white acrylic paint. I added visors and a rear view mirror from my parts stash. It's getting real close to final assembly time on this beast. Thanks for following along on this adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The paint turned out nice, Rich, and it's a wonderful subject. You can't go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Very nice. Wish I'd bought a 1:1 Ford wagon when I had the chance. Love 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Beautiful paint and foil work Rich. Did you spray or handpaint the seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Thanks again for all your kind words guys. Thanks Virgil. I just have to clean it real good after I'm done with everything to remove all the smudges and fingerprints from handling it. Carl, first I sprayed the seats with flat black primer, then I brush painted the flat gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
