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.
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.
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.
