Ah, the Wild Wild West… not the movie, or tv show… Perhaps the perfect setting for… a show rod.

Built box stock from the AMT re-release, this prairie prowler gives plenty of opportunity to let your dry brushing skills have a hootenanny!

The body is woodgrained, of course, with steel bolts and accents. The shovel and axe are tethered to the sides with DMC thread.

I felt the kit supplied decals were a bit cartoonish for my build, so instead, I used some gift tissue paper to create the canopy patches.

Pictured with that good ol’ boney boy from the Boot Hill Express. He loves a good stogie.
