Its been a while since I build a car, and posted it here, but something new is ready, so I thought I share it.
This time it's a Duesenberg, once more fully made out of genuine LEGO bricks.
My LEGO model is based on the SJ type Dual Cowl Pheaton, by LaGrande from 1935. It is a one-off build in scale 1:8.5 (derived from the availlable wheel size that fitted this built), and consists of roughly 5000 parts. I have put in a lot of detail, like the engine (it was always painted green in a Duesenberg as far as I know), and added some retro-chromed parts as well. These parts have been industrially plated on the original ABS plastic bricks.
I made two roof setups to show the car open and closed.The doors can be opened, and the hood can be removed.
