'57 Ford Station Wagon

[Grant]

Outstanding work as usual! I love these diecast conversions ...

Thank you guys. This is actually the first diecast that I've ever worked on. It's been a good learning process for me.

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.

The paint turned out nice, Rich, and it's a wonderful subject. You can't go wrong.

Looks great Rich, love the conversion.

Very nice. Wish I'd bought a 1:1 Ford wagon when I had the chance. Love 'em.

Beautiful paint and foil work Rich. Did you spray or handpaint the seats?

[Ramfins59]

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.

The interior looks great Rich, you have a steady hand compared to mine. Nice work..
