maltsr Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Here's my version of the 1/24 Monogram 1934 Duesenberg SJ Torpedo Phaeton in all its glory, painted in two shades of Tamiya Metallic Blue. I had to scratch build the upper engine due to a missing part, which took a few hours, 12 pieces of styrene and 13 bits of brass rod.
RomanII Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 I think I have to buy another Monogram Duesenberg kit now. Your color choices are outstanding, topped only by the cleanliness of the build. Congratulations on a beautiful model.
Dave Van Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Fantastic work!!! I love those Monogram classic kits......I was told once by a Monogram exec that these kits were a labor of love as they never sold well.
rustybill1960 Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Beautiful Build Fantastic scratch building Thank You for sharing Later
bbowser Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Striking color combination, clean building style. Well done!
Gramps46 Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Gorgeous looking car. Congratulations on your build.
espo Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 In the 1:1 world these always seemed so elegant looking, and with the way you used different colors you did the same with this build. I have know idea what all you had to do on the engine but it looks factory to my eyes. Almost expect to see Clark Gabel or some other movie star leaning on the fender.
Eric Macleod Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Once upon a time there was a question on this forum asking us which kit we would choose to build if we could only build one. This kit would be my choice, hands down. I have probably built this kit more than any other, but never as well as this. Can you tell us about the hand nuts you made for the camshaft covers. They look great. Very nice model overall that was nicely photographed. Thanks for posting it.

The nuts are simply 0.032 brass rod inserted into pre-drilled holes, the camera and paint seem to augment their appearance somewhat!
Phildaupho Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 WOW - beautifully built, fantastic colour combination, have always wanted to build one of these.
Justin Porter Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 That really does look amazing. Always great to see one of the Monogram Classics built.
