1950 Mercury Woody

Here some pictures of of my Woody project. For the wood I had tried the first time decals from Uschi van der Rosten. Whats missing is the clear coat.





These decals are one of the best wood declas that I ever used. Paint your wood paneels with Desert Yellow and Flesh brown from Tamiya. add the decals and then a washing with burnt sienna oil paint. wait 8 - 10 say until the Oil paint has dried and then clear coat.

As far as I know alexander ship also overseas. If some of you needs help your are welcome to contact me.


Part of the Mercury will also a little Diorama with a palm tree





Next step will be some paint on the tree

That's looking real good, I like the "woodwork".

Here some more pictures





Here one of the surf boards


And here a mock up of the beach scene

Woody, sun, surf, chicks - wonderful memories. This is really coming along nicely. A great little project mate. Love the "wood" panelling.

looking good so far,yep needs a few beach girls too.

There will some figures sure.

Here a picture with some more parts added

Looks great!! I'll be watching this one

Looks great Miwi, can't wait to see it cleared and finished.

Is this a resin body? I seem to recall a Mercury Woody surf kit many years ago - just can't put a finger on it yet.

Just remembered it:



Wouldn't mind finding one of these now!

wow that's a old kit never seen one before.

There was one for sale a few weeks ago on ebay australia

I'm pretty sure those figures went on to get replicated in resin. I recall that girl showing up a lot in the old SAE magazine.

That's a sweet old kit, never seen it before. Gees Tezza your memory works great.....sometimes!

The figures and the surf boards including rack are available from Replicas Miniatures of Maryland.

Part of the beach scene will be a deck chair. I'm not sure about the cover fabric, so I have to search the internet for some ideas.
I used 2 x 2 mm wooden strip for the chair

way cool,use some thin ribbon and put some lenght ways then weave it side ways,use two or three colours.

Aurora MOD SQUAD 1951 Mercury Woodie Station Wagon at a mere US$299!!!

Here the finished deckchair. I had printed the stripes on tissue, like I usually do this with my mexican blankets.

rekon the chair would look much better with a bikini babe next to it

Sure but that girl isn'r finished yet

Based on a technique that Steve Boutte shared in another forum I made this Tuck'n'Roll
Usually I use half round stripes to replicate Tuck'n'Roll. This method I saw the first time in a posting from Steve Boutte. Steve thanks for sharing this technique.

Materials:
Silicon - use your favorite one
Arcyl paint i.e. Schmiecke or Lucas
Tuck'n'Roll tonneau cover i.e. '59 Chevrolet El camino from amt


Steps:
Make a mold of the tonneau cover.
Pure some of the archly paint in to the mold
Let it dry
Peel it of the mold
Cut to the size that you need

Modified seat from '49 Mercury from amy


Yellow arcyl Tuck'n'Roll added to the seat

Some more pictures

Tuck'n'roll inside the roof


Then the engine, its from the amy Merc with a air cleaner from unknown source

engine look's cool

Nice work. The deck chair is really cool.
