Woodies are a favourite of mine and these are some that I did while at Crossway, the BRK83 Ford V8 and the BRK87 Desoto, both in different shades of metallic green and again neither are still with me though I do have variations plus some more that are waiting to be built.

A BIG favorite of mine too. This Ford and DeSoto, especially in green, look fantastic!

I wish I had these two in my collection. The greens are perfect with the wood.

@chris That's nice, I have just painted three of these Desoto Woodies and one is white, only when I counted out the parts I'm a right side of the wood missing!

@charles-rockett Beautiful job with the repaints and as others have said the metallic green looks amazing!

Along with the Desoto woody above there was a 1949 Dodge done by IXO. Plymouth also had one in 1949-50 but to my knowledge there is no production model of one but I have just finished constructing a 3D printed one which is a modification of a 3D printed two door all steel Suburban. This required stretching the wheelbase, moving the B and C posts and creating the tailgate spare tire enclosure. Shown here with the two door wagon.
And the Brooklin Desoto and IXO Dodge.

Given me an idea there John, wonder if I can get the side 3D printed!

Not sure what you mean by getting the side printed. The STL file for the two door wagon produces what is shown in my first photo above plus a number of minor small parts. This file can be purchased here: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/hobby-diy/automotive/plymouth-suburban-wagon-1950. The image shown there is not very accurate but the file produced the light green two door Suburban. Files can be printed in any scale you want, 43rd, 24th, 16th etc but printing time would vary. Be advised these files can be very large, sometime up to 28MB. Usually my printer buys them for me but if not, they have to be sent to him in "Dropbox" or physically delivered on a thumb drive.Given me an idea there John, wonder if I can get the side 3D printed!

There’s a 3D Printing Company in one of the units of the old Wellingore hall round the corner from me, he is a modelling fan and may be able to assist, he’s already agreed to help with some 1/43 Police kit items, I will have words.
