Knocking this one out of the park also, Mike. Great start!
There is one thing I don't like about the kit. Just one. The scale. I wish it was 1/24-25 to go with other show rods.

That looks like it is going to be up to your usual first class standard already Mike.

Thanks guys!  Got the wood grain done on the body today. here's some pics of how I did it and the paints that I used. First I started by airbrushing the body with Vallejo model air wood.   Then I brushed on some black wash around the windows and the trim around the roof,then I dry brushed on some darker brown colors and then blended the colors in with a wet Q tip.  This is what it looks like now,I still need to clear coat it , I hope this helps you guys with wood graining a model.more to come ,thanks for looking!  |

I was thinking that as well. White packing peanuts kind of pulled apart with some fine tip tweezers. The tint with airbrush...could be fun.

Gee whiz this looks great. Some very convincing finishes on the Wood, brass head lamps and that Candy stripe roof is awesome.

Thanks guys,I would have liked to gotten the popcorn a little smaller
but every time I chopped the peanuts it would get stuck on my blade
and fingers..lol

That's because you didn't suck the salt off them first, that's the best bit of peanuts.
