Looking great!! Beautiful job on the wood and hinges. Call sign "one who stands with a tail wind. Gary S.

"Stands with a tail wind" at least sounds nicer than "Furch Fartz"."Stands with a tail wind'? Lakota Sioux name, perhaps?
"Furchtbar Furz" in German.

Ok, meanwhile back at the ranch...
I have everything primed:
I thought I would try oil paints for the "woody" parts. Probly a mistake, but it looks good, even though it be a couple of days before I can continue:
I am trying to make the seats look like leather:
I used Gold Ochre, titanium white, cadmium yellow, and raw umber mixed with a drying medium and stippled the colors onto a base of yellow acrylic. I waited an hour, then went back with a flat stenciling brush to really make the leather texture. A couple more sessions should make that look great.
I white walled the tires with enamel and tidyed up with Ivory Black oil paint.
I got the suspension parts put together, painted, and added the tires:
The weird thing is, both axles are attached by a tiny pin at the top of each spring arch. Surely there was more sturdy attachment methods than that.
The hood is primed then based with yellow:
I still haven't decided what color the front of the wagon should be. My reference photos have a green front and it looks great
What to do, what to do?

I wiped off the oil paint mess I had started on the wooden panels and went with acrylics. Leather brown base and a drybrush of white was how I started this time. I then built up layers using various Vallejo colors of Wood, light brown, buff, and ivory. I drybrushed around the edgeas with raw umber oil paint with a final overall wash was burnt umber oil. I used Trainer Yellow enamel for the wood bar separations.
The interior door latches are Gloss black enamel as well as are the bolt and screw heads.
The floor bottom was painted the same was as the side pannel wood with a few more scratches and scuffs. The seats which had been leather textured got a rub down and wipe of raw umber oil paint, then a pin wash of black oil paint. The hardware for the seats is gloss black enamel. Were there seatbelts in these things? I don't see any in the references. I superglued the seats in place, and added the gear shifter and brake.
Not pictured, but made, are the pedals from wire and styrene. I am going to let Bob add the third row seat if he wants it. I have given serious thought to opening the drivers door. I had thought briefly about opening all four doors but decided that was beyond my skill level. After rethinking it all, if I do open a door, it would either be just the driver's or both front. The tailgate will be operable.
The interior ceiling has been treated with gloss white, leather brown, and trainer yellow enamel.
I am waiting for the exterior wood to dry before going much further on the body. The metal plates are gloss black enamel.
I have decided on Humbrol #03 Brunswick Green for the front of the cab and the hood.
That is pretty much it!

Seatbelts, we don't need on stinkin' seatbelts? When I was a babe I road around in a crib over the engine deck of a Chevy Greenbriar just bouncing around with all my brothers and sisters.
Looks spot on Greg.

Really like the coloring on this Greg! Only suggestion critique I have is the yellow outlines on the wood panels should be a little crisper (straighter?). If they are somewhat hidden by the build I get it that they don't need to be. Overall it looks really good!

Yes Greg. Photos and my ol' mark 1D eyeballs pick up on mini details that others never notice.

This was a frustrating build for me. I had the engine cover hinged to open, but couldn't see any way to use magnets to keep the passenger side closed. The drivers side couldn't open because of the spare tire holder. Also, the white enamel on the tires never dried. I found that out when white fingerprints and smudges appeared all over the car. What?! Yep, white was still sticky a week later. I put two coats of the AK clear I had used and the white is no longer coming off. I have NO idea what the future will bring by doing that. The only thing left to do is find chains small enough for the tailgate.
Nice, unsure why the enamel wouldn't dry.

Me neither! Normal Testors gloss white on rubber tires. It has worked before
Tires actually rubber?

Well, they were sqishy and flexible. Def not plastic.
Probably some reaction to that medium.

Probably. I will try acrylic next time.
