Woodie on Surfari

[patw]

Bought one of these through Amazon USA, it took just 6 days to get here to the UK, shortest time ever! To continue my surfers theme..............

I having to print some more woodgrain decal as this kit is quite a bit bigger than 1/24 or 1/25 scale.

Get to it Pat. I want to see this one built.

I did that one when I was about 13 or so and then when I saw them again recently I bought the whole set.  Here's the Woodie kit and then a group pic of the group.  I think I got all five off eBay a year ago around Xmas for about $40 delivered.

Thanks Guys for the push and pics  but................ 
I'm part-scratchbuilding a truck, in between times of waiting for decals to set, paint to dry and roll cage to set, like today sitting indoors waiting for printer inks,Revell Clear glue, Plasti-Kote Clear Gloss and a Monogram Ford '30 Woody kit to arrive I've done this....






And looking for an ideal paint colour for the sun tan on the figure, I've already oven cleanered off a very dark brown, too dark.

Here we are..................As I'm waiting for various printer ink cartridges to be delivered, I'm building this indoors instead of in my garden cabin workplace..















Floor in................


And Rear Door............

Update..........Well.........because the chassis and everything else is askew, not square, I've had to shave off and bend the floor to fit. Then you have the problem of the tailgate not fitting, but guess what...............it did!



A tattoo for the srf dude........and a copper wire earing!


A few flames each side........


and the horn and rear light...............and finished the exhaust with some ally tube.............

Cheers Bert, really fun kit to build, it now has pride of place on the mantlepiece over the fireplace in the lounge/front room!

Thanks hobbybobby, I had already found your thread, and used it as a guide, especially to use as I hadn't painted an 'Eye' before. Yes they are a great group of crazy kits, just my idea of fun!
