39 Chevy Wagon Rod DONE!
Posted by Mike H. on Tuesday, April 22, 2008 11:59 PM

I brought this one back out of the kit stash.  I decided on green and white pearl for colors.  The wood etc. has all been painted with various washes/dry brushing etc.  Here's my progress thus far.

Geez, that's purdy!

I woulda cut out that rear window though. It would have been nice to be able to see inside the back.

I really like the paint scheme though!

Here's why the windows aren't cut open.  Wink [;)]

Got the chassis and interior finished up.  If I'd been thinking ahead, I could've run air lines to the bags.

It's cleared and needing to be polished out.  I also started a bit of the BMF.  This is my first attempt at opening a door and it's a mild success.  It works but with a bit of finessing because of the way I put the brackets in the door.  Live and learn right? Big Smile [:D]

All done!  A fun kit to build and this is my first effort at opening a door.  It was a mild success and would've been better had I thought out the door hinges better.  The wood panels and floor boards were all painted with various wood tones and washes.  The body colors are Testors Acryl dark green pearl and white pearl nail polish.
