1923 Ford Model T Depot Hack

Description

I actually just finished this on New Year's :) its a vintage AMT Depot hack kit, i kit bashed with a AMT 1925 T , since some of the parts like the fenders on the 25 T were more acurately detailed. And the wood body is all scratchbuilt from balsa wood. All the wood pieces were made from the depot hack parts I wanted to replace with wood. I didnt copy all the parts, i just decided to make my own wood body, based on one I saw in a magizine. By the way, i did put someting over the wood, some gloss clearcoat which i brushed a few coats over, and gives the wood a nice shine.

I scratch built a ton or parts for it:
"brackets" to hold together the wood, kinda like what youd see on the real car.
plug wires, and headlight wiring
running board , and lantern brackets, which were made from thin copper sheets.
The flip out windshield (made from an amt windshield)
tailgate hinges.
brake rods
and a choke rod.
All the "bolt's you see in the wood are push pins i cut short and stuck into the wood.
And the tailgate chains are just some small jewelry chain i cut to size :)

I had a blast building it, and i think its one of my most detailed models so far! :D Wish i would have taken more progress pics of it...it was just one of those things i couldnt stop working on! lol

heres how it started out:
