Built by: Russ Hooten in Joplin, Missouri

This is my first time to submit an entry to the Gallery. I'm normally building figure kits and haven't built that many car kits in the last few years. In fact, I've only built two, the Li'l coffin, and this one.

I remembered seeing this kit, as the Beer Wagon, when I was a kid and thought it would be fun to build.

I basically built this one straight out of the box, but did take the time to make the bed to look a little more realistic. I used 1/16" balsa wood to cut the wooden planks for the bed, and then stained them with brown shoe polish. Great little kit and a fun build.
