Phildaupho Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki I finished this just in time for the Woody Theme Class at my local model show. For under construction photos and info check my posy On the Workbenchhttp://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=92220&hl= My objective other than building the Speedwagon as a ’34 rather than a Deuce was to stay true to the original Thom Taylor design and Dan Fink build. I was surprised at the lack of detail photos of the real car on the Internet. An image search results mainly in photos of scale models. A few areas I changed from the kit to get closer to the real design and car are the addition of - roof rail fabricated with Evergreen styrene rod painted with Alclad - engine fan and radiator cowl - blue interior trim - instrument panel painted interior color with gold trim and white faced gauges Paint – The blue is acrylic enamel I had previously had mixed at an automotive paint shop but Tamiya Blue proved to be a good match. Testor’s “Wood” was used for the Woody frames and Testor’s Flat Sand for the interior. The wood panels are the kit decals. The Woody parts and dash where clear coated.

sjordan2 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Not my cup of tea, but an extremely nice piece of work, inside and out. Maybe a slight wash on the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
