The EXCLUSIVELY '32 Roadster/Cabriolet ONLY thread. Show us what you got!!!
Quiet Eric replied to mrm's topic in Model Cars
I love your Dennis Kyle roadster!! One of my favorite 1:1s -
This junk is done. Didn't put too much effort into detail painting or any into chassis weathering. Will take and post some more "flatering" finished pictures soon. Really pleased with everything except of course the paint. Not a bad kit.

I agree that adding a strip to the sides would work well. Have to say on that resin hood, the scoops are way too far forward. The positioning of them on the '70 hood is more accurate. Since the resin hood is too short, it would be a pain but would correct both issues to lengthen it in front of the scoops.

They were en ebay find and listed as AMT but didn't say which kit.

Nice!!!! Great concept too.
-
Love the color, love the top, love the wheel choice, all around great build!
-
Here’s a pretty good shot of what the paint looks like. The roof is the worst but it’s kinda all over. I think the next you see this one will be under glass
-
I didn’t make it super right, and I can see that being more of an issue on a different car. With this one being pretty squared off front and rear it worked well.
-
Yep. I cut away as much of the black and silver overlapping areas as possible. Didn’t get everything but close enough. Did use a good bit of Micro-Sol to get them to contour better. Really wish I had tried Future for this one. It would have been great.
-
The two tone went well, then the decals weren't bad...had to cut away a lot of the edges trying to get as close to just the red as possible since I reversed the colors. Then I cleared it and everything went downhill. It looks ok in the picture but it is really bad. Going to finish it anyway, but this one will be at the back of the display case...if it doesn't live in a box the rest of it's life that is.

I think you’ll like the new rolling stock Dennis... Going to lean a a little more show-car than originally planned, interior will be a full on grey tweed job and the body will be dechromed...not sure on bumpers yet.

Looks great! I prefer the steelies.
-
Picked one up a while ago and finally got to use it, and all of a sudden I can't imagine what I would do without it.
-
Fantastic!!
-
Once again, I really really like this!! I don't like to post my own pictures in other folks build threads but want to share this one...I started it years ago before my most recent building hiatus. Not much to it so far but the plan was combining a late model Challenger interior and drivetrain with it. So far just have wheels/tires/stance set up on it. Hopefully I'll get back to it one day and can get it on par with yours!

One more vote for Tudor door lines
-
Yeah but I can’t handle the 4-spoke
-
I think it is going to get a 4-link and coil over shocks. We'll see what the parts box has to offer! I'll build enclosures around the rear tires but they fit pretty well between the quarter panel and framerail as is, so I don't plan to move any of that. Nice work on that chassis! Thanks all for the comments!

Yep, 1mm Molotow

Rode hard and put away wet! -
Looks great. I bet the original was a lot of fun.

What did you see on the road today?

That one was special!! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Cortina -
If I had to put '32 body styles into groups, there would be 4... Roadster and a phaeton have so much in common with one another. They share the same cowl, windshield, and front doors. Cabriolet or Sport Coupe have far more in common with a 5-window than a roadster and I would group them with the 5w coupes. A 3 window is it's own animal that shares little more than subrails with other '32s. A Victoria would have to be with 2 and 4 door sedans. B400's and deliveries also in this group. But after all this is all semantics and doesn't really matter!
