donb Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Hi all, been a long time since I posted. Life happens. Any how, here are some pics of my completed Duesenburg. Detail are: Body painted Testors Gold Metallic, running boards painted Root Beer Metallic. Interior and top painted Ivory. I wanted to give it a "Rich" feeling. After all, only the very well to do could afford one of these. Built box stock. A few with the top up and the hood on. Edited July 13, 2019 by donb
donb Posted July 14, 2019 Author Posted July 14, 2019 Hi Sam. Its a Monogram kit. I bought it several years ago off ebay.
Phildaupho Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Always great to see a classic posted. I really like your color selection. A Duesy is still on my list of want to builds.
tbill Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Be careful you don’t get cut, cause that is sharp! Beautiful build!
'70 Grande Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Stunning build! Color choices are outstanding! Well done!
Nacho Z Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Wow!! That is gorgeous! I absolutely love the color combination. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I may have to copy your work if/when I build mine! Really, really nice work, Don.
Cpt Tuttle Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Prewar cars are among my favourite modelling subjects, I have a similar Monogram kit, is there anything I should know about it before building?

There are a few real delicate parts. Just need to be cautious. I also Took a lot of time gluing both windshields on. Model goes together well.

89AKurt Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Nice to see someone build these! I got the kit from an estate, looked really good, but sold at the GSL show. Like the color choice!
Richard Bartrop Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Those old Monogram kits still build up nice, and the colour is not that far off what they put on the original.
bbowser Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Great color combo, neat build. Love seeing these prewar cars on here, thanks for sharing.
robertw Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 I like it. You've done a very nice job. This line of '30s Monogram classics is some of the best work they ever did. I doubt we'll see the Germans reissue this series of kits. Have a couple of these in the stash but won't get to one for at least a year. This winter I'll be doing the Monogram Cord.

A Duesy is still on my list of want to builds. Agreed! Looks awesome. But those rear lights....oh...in my opinion...they are ugly - they do not suit to this absolut elegant, beautiful car. What did the engineer thought that time when he construct it?
