Pattern corrections FC Wagon

[red_devil]

Had the pattern corrected thanks to help from Alex, like some opinions.Please remember we will not get every detail correct due to the constraints of working with something so small and hand shaped.

Hi John,
Some 'square on' shots of sides, front, back and top would help with the assessment.
However, from what is on show, looks pretty good.

About the only criticism I would make is that the fuel tank cap appears flush with the body (like a sedan) and it has some sort of stripe on it (which it doesn't)

The door handles look especially good and pillar thicknesses are realistic as well.

G'day Red Devil

angles of rear pillar and tailgate seem very upright and square.Doesnt seem to taper to top.
glass area in tailgate seems very large
seems to need thicker body panel under drip rail and on verticals of tailgate window
tailgate hinges missing
my wagon has smooth fuel filler cap that sits level (or slightly within)body panel line (but i dont know how original it is)

Hope I'm being helpful

I resisted the temptation to say....it's got no wheels

Cant wait to get my hands on one ( or two)

Thanks to all that have replied and commented, great help.It is difficult to get every aspect of this car right at such a small scale. The car is totally shaped by hand from resins from photo's,  got to be hard.
Thank you all again.
Regards

very minor thing and probably to finnicky for a small model

the roof tapers in slightly towards rear of wagon ( might explain upright verticals around tailgate window). i know my front surfboard rack wont fit at rear

Given pattern back to the pattern maker, he tells when he gets out of therapy he will do the corrections. All for the greater good you know I keep telling him. I need to stall anyway till the A$ gets stronger.

That petrol cap could be a locking version with the raised centre, so it wouldn't have to change.

Looks great but i have to agree with surferboy about the upper tailgate, definately needs to taper in at the top.
