THE OFFICIAL '32 TUDOR SEDAN BUILD-OFF!

[mrm]

OK... This was just bound to happen! So because of the recently reissued '32 Tudor Sedan by Revell, I would like to start a group build-off. 

Some really simple rules:

* ONLY 1932 Tudor Sedans in 1:25/1:24, no matter the kit manufacturer. No Vickies, no Phaetons (even if based on chopped Tudor), no '31s, no Woodies etc... you get the idea.

* Any body allowed. Kit's, 3D printed, resin... as long as it is a '32 Tudor Sedan. Some of the great resin cast four door bodies are also permitted. Delivery sedan conversions also allowed. Chopped or stock.

* No previously finished models permitted in this thread. This is a fresh challenge. You can enter an already started project, but only if it is no more than 30% complete. 

*Build-off starts now and the finish line is October 15th. That's almost 5 months, which should give everyone plenty of time to complete their Tudor, considering the subject matter. 

                                                                                                         ??? !!! LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED !!! ???

Here are some I've build, just for motivation.

I had been thinking the same thing when  reading the kit reissue thread.

Lots of possibilities with this one.

Just start another one. LOL! As you said yourself - Lots of possibilities with this one. 

I personally, want to build four different ones that I know exactly what I want to do with. Not to mention the two moredoors that I'm itching to build.

And yes! I am going to build two of them. Side by side in completely different styles in every possible way.

I'm in. I need to build this one anyways. All that's done is the body is painted.

The four door? I am not 100% sure, but I think it’s chopped.

Cool pics!  I wonder what those rear wheels are on the first pic?

The body is from Drag City Casting and I built the mold master. It is chopped 3 scale inches.

I’m pretty sure you are correct. 
However, there is another casting that looks almost identical, of a four door Deuce that is not chopped at all. The dark two tone model in my group photo is based on it. I bought it and build it long before Drag City cast your master. Unfortunately, I have no clue who made it. But it was very good quality, on par with Drag City’s excellent work.

The other 4-door body was sold through Hendrix. They had two. One Revell based and the other AMT based. Those are definitely stock height.

Thank you for the info. So I then got the Revell based Hendrix moulding that I built the “Family Deuce” around . 
  Can they still be bought?
