What do you think of my wooden R/C body?

[EvhCo]

I always loved rat rods, so I tried to go for a tow truck hot-rod style for my on-road-er, at least until I got my hands on some actual body. I used wood fiber boards to make a small square chassis, and I tried to paint faux rust on it.

Here, I've cut the wood.

Here, I've covered the pieces in wood glue:

Here, I was painting them:

And here is the end body sitting on my car:

I personally think the faux rust looks awesome, and the wood should hold up until I get money for a body. I also used bits of cinnamon when painting to give it that rust feel to the touch. I also made a towing winch for it, but it's still outside drying.
What do you guys think? I'll post photos of it with the winch once it dries.

I love the smell of Cinnamon in the morning.

Especially combined with oil'n'smoke.

If that's the look you were going for, you totally nailed it.

Damn it, I went back to its original F1 body, I ain't good at woodworking.

From my phone's screen,which isn't bad, it looks like you've got the rust look pretty well and a good base for an old t bucket type body. Personally, I SUCK with wood! So no matter how I look at it, I can only look with admiration! I 'wooden' give up if I were you! Practice makes perfect!
