From my experience building the wooden covered wagon, , I think it’d be better to stain it before gluing the parts together, @bikequeen

This looks like it will be a nice change of pace from motorcycles, Cricket (@bikequeen).

Excellent job indeed, my friend @bikequeen!

Sorry everyone who replied for some reason and once again I’m not getting the responses : (

Anyway here is todays progress, working with wood is totally different than plastic so my results are a bit off. I’m not thrilled with the finish. I had some Krylon paint in the garage I was going to use but it was old and didn’t story well so I primed everything with Tamiya dark grey primer and hit it with Tamiya black (both spray cans)

Had to stop because we got called out to set up an LZ :/

This was test fit for the coffin rails…not to bad

Then of course the “body”

And the undercarriage and test fit

I was going to say I never used CA glue with wood but I remembered that years a years ago I used it on a Gillows P38 i started.

More tomorrow

What our friend @gblair said, my friend @bikequeen!
Awesome job!

@gblair. Boooo Hisssss…..bad jk=oke….really bad joke 🙂

@fiveten Thanks Spiros 🙂

@johnb thanks john. My grandfather was a master carpenter in Slovenia and my dad was too, I dont get to their level but I do ok. I’m afraid the coach builders in the “Days of yore” would be disappointed with this build 🙂

What a day! I knew severe weather was a possibility for today for about 5 days now. I managed to stay calm and work on my kit. And about 1:30 it hit the fan. Tornado popped up and the rest of the afternoon was hell….no damage here thankfully

Anyway here is the hearse update. I put the front on. Took the dowel that came with it sanded it smooth primed it and cut to length to make the coffin rollers. I thought i progress shoots but in the craziness of the day I guess I didnt take any : / I installed them added the coffin rails, sanded and the seat as it was pretty bad. I also described the roof and messed it up : ( but to late to fix it

So here it is and a couple pics of the hail we had 🙂
