Terry Jessee Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Monogram Deuce roadsters. The brown one survived a cleaning woman at Sunnyvale years ago. I had perched a tray of models atop a hotel cabinet. She swept the top of the cabinet while dusting and knocked all the models onto the floor. A friend and I managed to get the Deuce back together in time for the NNL, but in spite of our best search we never could find the top braces. So I've left it that way. The paint job was a happy accident. The yellow plastic reacted with the primer coat to give the paint a mottled appearance. So I left that, too. Eventually, the model wound up on the cover of my last book. The black roadster appeared in that book, too, in the chapter on painting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Beautiful pair, they are both stunning, the black one has a nice textured effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrm Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Great pair. Looking at the red one reminds me, that I still can't wrap my head around the fact, that after all the countless Deuce models under the sun, by pretty much every manufacturer, no one makes a decent hotrod convertible top in 1/25 scale.

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Convincing proof of how good that relatively simple kit can look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 They both look great. You mention the primer on the one, and in the 1:1 if left exposed to the elements that type of appearance often happens with a primer. Great stance and the level of engine detailing.

Phildaupho Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Great to see these two venerable Deuce roadsters. They are a good warm up for all the Deuces I will be seeing the next four day during Deuce Days in Victoria BC Canada both full scale and model cars.

larman Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I always liked both of these. Probably my favorites of your builds, along with your yellow Monogram '30 Woody. The red/brown primer one reminds me of Robert Williams roadster before he ruined it with that goofy yellow and purple paint job it has now....

alan barton Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Still the very best 32 kit ever made and you really took advantage of their simplicity to achieve these attractive results. I have eight of these built and another three under construction and if I found another one tomorrow, I would buy it too! The promer look is a natural on your model.
