John Goschke Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) After doing these on an AMT roadster (see below) it's time to do one on the current "state-of-the-art" Deuce Roadster for eventual resin production. Here's an early mockup showing the re-proportioned Monogram 1/24 "Little Deuce" roof in place on the 2" chopped windshield with the new side profile roughed out in masking tape... Here's an AMT Deuce with a similarly chopped windshield and reproportioned/chopped roadster top... Edited October 9, 2008 by John Goschke
E St. Kruiser50 Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Hey John Why not put a Chezoom roof on it - LOL ( Bye the way - Nice mug )
RodBurNeR Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 that finished roadster is just DROOOLL! man i love that!
Dennis Lacy Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 It's incredible how much better that kit looks with a correctly proportioned windshield, let alone the top you're designing for it. Add some steel disc wheels and bias-ply tires and outwardly you have an accurate looking post-WWII roadster. Very nice!
Randy Kern Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 That looks good so far, John. I have always liked the look of an 'up-top' roadster, including early 'Vettes and most sportscars. I have a kit waiting for this piece.
John Goschke Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 Here's the top with first coats of Tamiya white surface primer. Still needs cleanup in a few 'lil spots. The goal is to get it to Al Hernandez at Carbon Copy Resins by the end of the month. Let me know what you think!
Moon Pie Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 If you plan on selling those, I'd be interested. Looks great!
MikeMc Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 http://www.cornerstone-media.biz/32top/top5.jpg I like it...IMHO the body doesn't seem to line up with the reveals in the frame and is that a gap under the hood sides or just not ready for the camera??

Thanks, Mike. The car is just intended to be a primed mockup to show what the top will look like. There's no engine, so that's why the gap. Otherwise, the body, etc. are in their out-of-the-box location and haven't been fine-tuned at all.

Bernard Kron Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 (edited) Looks great. The chopped windshield is real sharp. These parts really change the character of the model, especially along with the steelies, whitewalls and red primer. I've got a build going that uses the Revellogram Deuce as a basis for a true late 40's-early 50's roadster with leaf spring rear suspension. I will definitely be getting these pieces for it! B.
