randyc Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Just finished. I built the connoisseur classic version a long time ago. This is built for a friend. It was fun to do it again with better skills. This one could have been better, but overall I'm pretty pleased with it. Headlight are aimed terribly. I'd hate to drive it at night. But the attachment points are vague. Still got to work on the gangsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Very nice. We don't see these old classics built! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 Thanks. The friend I'm building for has sent me this one, a monogram 31 Rolls, a Johan 31 Cadillac, and 3 Heller kits to build for him. Plus some other non classic kits. I enjoy building them, he pays me a little to build, and I don't have to worry about what to do with them forever. I enjoy them till he comes to get them.

espo Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Beautiful looking build. The colors really look perfect for such a grand car. I always thought the hidden Golf Bag storage was a neat feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NICE builds of yours. I was never really interested in these til recently. But they are a challenge to build and at this point I want challenges like this. I've built nearly every mainstream kit produced from AMT, Revell, Mongram, MPC, Lindberg, etc. I feel like my skills are the best they've ever been right now - they may start falling off any day. I do most of my building with my glasses off to be able to see up close. So it's glasses on to find parts, look at instructions. Glasses off to actually deal with parts and paint. And repeat til complete. So my next few builds are of things I have NOT built. Classics of one sort or another. Minicraft TR3, Monogram TR8 (have not built that one), the Rolls, the Caddy, the Hellers. And yes, build these kits. They are interesting and defintely challenging if you're used to "regular" kits of muscle cars and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed a LOT of cars of this era have a storage compartment there, especially roadsters that didn't have much storage to start with.

Cpt Tuttle Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Very nice Chrysler, I did the 1933 phaeton by Italeri in almost the same colour combo some years ago and I agree that they go very well together and looks elegant on these old Chryslers.
