32 big deuce roadster pickup?

[damodelguy az]

built like crazy in 2017, but havent felt it this year.  so decided to pull out some bigger kits recently.  1/8th  lets see were it goes.

Should be cool. 

[PARTSMARTY]

I'll definitely be watching !!!

Great Idea! Make sure you display it with the other 1/8 scale rods when you're done. That would be an impressive sight for sure.

well, another wild hair,  grabbed a shirt outta the closet and new idea,  how bout a closed cab, also

[damodelguy az]

realized i needed 4 steps in moldings to side windows, so side windows got a bit more chopped looking.  something else i realized is this big stuff can wipe out your work space.  also, for those that are number people.  im not as much, im a visual person.  cant tell you the bed is 5 foot and other is 6 and 1/2.  dont really know.  its creativity for me.  what i see. the look i see.  thanx for looking

[damodelguy az]

as youve noticed i bounce around, but im in the 1/8 scale at the moment.  the 2 old kits i have i realized have a few missing pieces.  had to make another frame rail, steering box, upper block for the front end spindels to back plates.  lucky i did pickup 2 yellow kits bout 10 ago also.  opened the only unbuilt one i have left to use for copies.  the chassie looks weird because its all been dechromed.   we having fun yet,  i am, at the moment anyway.  enjoy   oh ya your now caught up to now from the past 3 weeks of this (these) projects.

That is great, very impressive.  Thanks for show how you did it in detail.  Will be keeping an eye on you.

[Mr. Metallic]

Your scratchbuilding skills are impressive. Missing frame rail??? Just make a new one! Excellent.

I'm following. But I have a feeling once a mod sees this it will get moved to the big scale area

[High octane]

Great ideas and impressive work. Looks like a winner.

[damodelguy az]

well as usual cant stay with one subjuct,  but after a change of pace ive started to get some paint here and there.  thanx for lookin

[iBorg]

I never would have seen the pick up in that roadster. Your build looks almost effortless. I'm quite impressed in the overall final piece. Thanks for sharing this WIP.

I love these kinds of posts, showing step by step, and it IS impressive how you start with plain pieces of styrene and create a pickup body in large scale, wow, cool! And I love that black channeled roadster with yellow rims, man I've gotta get going on one of my own Big Dueces, um, someday!  Cheers.

[LDO]

Nice work. What did you use for the back corners and back wall of the roadster cab? Was it sheet styrene or kit parts?

It's a really nice looking model. Very impressive.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Very nice.
