1917 Ford Model T Truck
The Model T has now been completed. First I would like to say thank you, to all who have commented during this build, it was good to have you bloke's along for the ride. I did not intend to do a WIP because it is really a beginners model & I thought it would not generate much interest. But I was wrong again. Some may say as usual. It was a good model to build & I am reasonably happy with the way it turned out. It is about 16" long & took about 25 hour's to build. I used Australian Red Cedar for the roof, bonnet & fender's. Ebony on the pedal's & purple heart for the seat padding. The tray is of unknown origin as it was given to me by a neighbour. The tyre's were painted with an acrylic black craft paint & the whole model has about two coat's of Estapol Polyurethane Satin. Regard's Jim.
