Holy Cow.. :oThe body is wood.... Dude that is over the top..
Very Nice model.. What are you towing it with?
BiLL..

[gfgcollects]

Yes, very nice indeed. I'll guess and say some sort of woody should be towing this beauty. Maybe a Speedwagon ;D

Thank´s for all nice replys. Some questions to answer: The engines are Cadillac Partspak . The Wood is mahoganyveneer.
I glued it piece by peice with Krazy glue all over the boat.
The white stuff on the front is Tamiya putty,and then 15 layers of clear with hardener (for wooden floors),put on with brusch.
Some pictures from the build :











And yes there is a towingcar :





That´s it folks / Torgny

[Dr. Kerry]

Dude that is rolling art!!! Well floating art too. The car looks nice but man that boat is awesome!!!!!! Great job!!!!

[ShowRodFreak Don V.]

I was going to say balsa wood, but I stand corrected. Killer work there buddy

[Tim Nolan]

That's really some very nice work on these models. Ingenious use of the woodgrain, and it's all so retro. I have pics of my father back in the 50's blasting downthe Ohio river in his wood hulled Chris Craft. Brings back a lot of memories. Fine workon the wagon too my friend. Good job.

[ramone]

Great craftsmanship!!!!

[nts]

Thank´s for all nice replys,maby you want to see some buildingpictures on the car....................
I cut (saw) out the panels from the resinbody from jimmy F.


Made some new panels in 3 mm mahogany wood.



Then paint the body with autopaint (spraycan).

The lighter frame around the woodpanels is handpainted to look like a lighter kind of wood as on the 1:1 Ford 53 wagon.

[hobbybobby]

The boat and the towingcar looks quite wonderful, Torgny! ;D ;D ;D

Proper wood planking, that is a great way!
