  This time I'll add door and panel lines the easy way. (But it's not always the best way). Here is the 48 Ford Woody before the door lines are darkened.  

Model tips

 

 

I sharpen a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil at a steep angle to create a very fine, sharp point. Use dark, soft HB lead.

  Then I scribe the door lines with the pencil. Keep sharpening the pencil often or else you will make two lines, one on both sides of the opening.

Here is what it looks like when finished.

I thought, since I did so much detail work on the interior, I would remove the windows on the rear doors so people could see the interior detail better. Later I will show you how to add partially rolled down windows.

Thanks to seeing Shannon D. the "MoparLady" do this, I decided to add the rubber gasket on the back window. I folded over some masking tape and painted it flat black. I cut it the correct width with a razor blade.

I glued it on with super glue. This window will be opened. Man it looks cool.!!!!!

Now for a little weathering on the body. This 48 Ford Woody lives at the beach. So all of that salt water must leave a little rust behind. I used only the liquid rust #1 bottle from the Rustall kit.

First I scratched the body in places and put small dings on the front of the woody. As if rocks had chipped the paint. ( Hey this baby has been on the road for almost 60 years..!! )

I slopped some liquid rust on then immediately wiped it off. It stayed in the cracks and crevices. It's hard to see how well this works in the photos. It looks great. A real subtle rust job.

Then I added a little more on the chrome and where we always spill a little gas.... right.?? I'll have to touch it up some more later, but you get the idea. Notice I added the gas cap too......

This kit has a ridge around the front window. It's perfect for Bare Metal Foiling...

I told you this 1948 Ford Woody kit had lots of good detail. It came out real nice.

So what happens when you don't change out your windshield wipers when you should..???? Well sometimes they scratch your windshield. Oh come on..!!! It's happened to you hasn't it..??? Well here those old drafting tools come in handy.

I just open the tool to the size of the wiper and plant one side where the wiper mounts. Then I scribe a "LITE" line as if the wiper had scratched the windshield. Don't scratch it too much..!!!

Then it looks like this..!! I also added a few rock nicks and scratches to the windshield. Later I'll add a little dust too.
