Revell's 1949 Mercury Woody Wagon!

What's the back story Wednesday?
This Revel 1949 Mercury Woody Wagon was built just before I started my RU-vid channel. The wood grain is mostly decals, however, the frame of the wooden area is hand painted using two different colors of Testors jar paints brushes on simultaneously to help give the wood graining a more organic look.
the little Surf board is hand made from nalsa wood along with the roof rack.
This build is also THE build that helped me become a better Judge at model car events. In the video I tell a brief recount of a local judge and his open disdain for the build and what he said about it. I took not only what he said, but how he said it to heart and vowed to never be like that guy at a show!

WOW! What a beautiful car/kit Bryan. Who doesn't love a "Woody"? The surfboard and the stickers on the windows all lend itself to look of a surfer's rig. The "flat" paint job is appropriate for a car that's been exposed to the coastline environment. Your woodwork is outstanding too. I agree about liking the windshield's visor & roof rack,they add to the retro look. This one is DEFINITELY a keeper. Tom S.

I love the merc Woody Wagon and have a couple in the stash to build. I hope that mine turn out as good as yours did Re your judging experience - there are good and bad judges, unfortunately you experienced a bad one. Kudos to you for taking on judging at shows - it is not an easy task if you take it seriously. I have been a volunteer judge (in a team of judges) at several shows and know how hard it can be. I think it is a good thing to do - it helps the host Club and I guarantee anyone who takes it on will come away with a better appreciation of the task.

I know from my experience that it is a very welcome thing to do at shows. I wish more folks would help judge rather than sit back and criticize.

Wow that came out great, I know what you mean about some judges. I have never entered a model in a show but before I became disabled I used to enter bbq competitions, one competition I entered ribs that weren’t quite tender enough (there is a fine window between tender and fall off the bone overcooked) I ran out of time the ribs were a little tough. 1 judge put that they were uncooked, 6 hours in a smoker they were not uncooked just not tender. That one remark has stuck in the back of my head.
@BGsModelWorkshop
@BGsModelWorkshop 2 месяца назад
Hi Chester! Exactly!! So you know where I am at then. And I would bet that if you were to judge a cook-off today, you would be more like me and be kinder to the participants! No need to be mean or snotty, just because TV chefs get away with it, doesn't mean everyone should. Damn, now I want ribs!! 😁

Hi Bryan. I really am diggin' your woody! The color is excellent, and the lack of shine shows the surf woody of it. Surfers wax boards, not cars. The hand painted wood frames look amazing. A Mammer Jammer! A definite keeper! Don't get me on the judge thing. Some guys are just too intense about it. It's good that you took away a positive from the experience.
@BGsModelWorkshop
@BGsModelWorkshop 2 месяца назад
Hi Vince! Thank you so much!! Hey, that's a great take for the lackluster finish! "Surfers wax boards not cars!" Love it!! 😀 I must say I was pretty proud of myself after that show for not going Chewbacca on that judge. Just did the lesson learned aspect and moved on.

I think it looks awesome. I thought the general rule was that you don't pick up other people's models. The two IPMS shows that I've been to, they use the PA to ask a modeler to move their own model. I've built the AMT 49 Merc, but haven't given the Revell kit a go yet.

Hi John, that's the graham rule these days. 7 or 8 years ago things were different, not to mention the guys that helped judge the automotive categories back then liked to pick up models all the time.
@ModelCarMinion
@ModelCarMinion 2 месяца назад
That is a beautiful looking build, I really like the wood, it looks very realisitic. The decals,(cool tiki head), the visor, the roof rack and the surf boards all add up to make it look amazing. (Suitcases would work on the roof also.) I have the AMT version of '41 Woody but it's got custom wheels (mags) and I wish I had this Revell model instead, so I keep putting off building it.
@BGsModelWorkshop
@BGsModelWorkshop 2 месяца назад
Hi Steve!! Suit cases? I like that idea, I didn't think of that..I still have those pizza boxes you emailed me. I could stack a bunch of those on the top too! 😁 Any chance you can dig through one parts boxes and dig up some different wheels? I sort of stinks to feel like you should wait on a build because you don't have parts .

Now you have me wondering where that nimrod moved your model. Given the 49 Merc Wagon has engine and drivetrain out of the Chopped '49, I'd like to know what other category other than Custom it goes into...lord knows they didn't come factory stock with a 3x2bbl Cadillac engine. It's water around the dam and all of that, but as a Head Automotive Judge on the local level of IPMS and an Automotive Judge at the Nationals I think I can fairly authoritatively say you had it in the right place.

Great build, But I think you might have the wipers on wrong. Meaning the right one should be the lift side wiper, and the left one should be your right side wiper. take a look at it as turning them on. The left side will move to the right, Driver side will not move at all. Sorry I just had to let you know BG. Realy, face the front and think there on you will see what I mean Buddy. Joe.

It's a great lesson in "you never know who's listening". While the judge may have been right, was it necessary to say it out loud, no. There's a myriad of other ways to handle something like that, the least of which can be used to encourage the builder, not discourage. Fun build, more Ted talks. 🫠🤙
