Mercury Woody at the beach

[Deleted]

Here some pictures of of my Woody project. For the wood I had tried the first time decals from Uschi van der Rosten. Whats missing is the clear coat.

Link to Uschi didn't work for me.
Yellow looks good in contrast with the wood trim.

Try this one Uschi van der Rosten. This work I forgot the "h" in http.
These decals are one of the best wood declas that I ever used. Paint your wood paneels with Desert Yellow and Flesh brown from Tamiya. add the decals and then a washing with burnt sienna oil paint. wait 8 - 10 say until the Oil paint has dried and then clear coat.

As far as I know alexander ship also overseas. If some of you needs help your are welcome to contact me.

Part of the beach scene will be a deck chair. I'm not sure about the cover fabric, so I have to search the internet for some ideas.
I used 2 x 2 mm wooden strip for the chair

Chair looks great !!!!!

Made this suggestion on the Modelbuilders site.
But to repeat, I have used linen handkerchiefs (the classy kind) to represent fabric.
