Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Love the Bomber themed one! Very Cool!
squirrel886 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Here's another Deuce I finished before the end of 2013.
squirrel886 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 And my finished Deuce line-up as of 01Jan2014. More to come of course.
Jantrix Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Brian, where did the glass for the track nose come from?
the goon Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Just found this thread; man there are some great models Mark
Bernard Kron Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 ...The Track nose was a while ago & listed as the '32 Tracknose V12 if you can find it. ... Hope it gives you ideas ... Brian It sure has, Brian! I found your Under Glass thread - December, 2012 I forgot that the Revell midgets come with 2 noses. Since I bought one for the V860 it's likely I will never build the actual car, so... 2 noses it is!!!! Both will find uses elsewhere... Not much info there but I found your thread on Oz Auto Builders which gives me the scoop. I read your note about the wire in the PartsBox axles which is the first time I have seen axle confirmation that they did it. I trust the axle hasn't sagged yet. And the dashboard is also very cool, and in keeping with the sort of post-Boyd, radical-traditional/high-tech fusion thing goin' on, if you know what I mean... So, yeah, it's definitely got me thinkin'...

Roncla Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 This one goes back a few years now. I built it when Revell first released the 32 HighBoy
Bernard Kron Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Wow Ron, that's a beautifully done model. And your excellent photography helps in appreciating all the fine detail. A text book example of the benefits of properly used aftermarket p/e. The banjo steering wheel, for example, is pefectly picked out in white against the fine wires of the spokes. It's hard to believe you even detailed out the little chrome retaining ring on the steering column bracket. Is that a fuse box hiding beneath the dashboard on the firewall? The modifications to the details of the base kit are all very successful, too. I especially like the branded Firestone whitewalls and the reversed rim steelies with the shallow baby moons (Parts by Parks?), and the cleaned up dashboard. The disc brakes are even plumbed... The more you look the better it gets. Thanks for sharing! Edited January 8, 2014 by Bernard Kron
Brianl Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Hi Rob Sorry I don't know what kit the screen came from. It was in a bag of donated parts. I narrowed it, hence the chrome strip in the middle & tapered the sides (vert nervy cuts!!) The photo shows its original shape so hopefully someone might recognise it for you. Ron Your build is beautiful. The devil is in the detail & what makes your build special is the consistancy of the detail all over the model. Gives me something to aim for. Thanks for sharing it. Brian
ScaleModelAddict Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Incredible work in this thread. Wicked. The grill in this build. Is that a kit part or aftermarket? Pretty cool. Got a new one in the works. Edited January 10, 2014 by ScaleModelAddict
crazyrichard Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 ron .......whow that detail is just mindblowing ... whow
Tom Geiger Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Here's a pair from my shelf. I bought the sedan delivery built, because I really liked the look of it. The Vicky was built by me eons ago. It must be over 20 years old now. My first contest model, I went for opening everything! Bet ya didn't see that coming!
Ramfins59 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Here are a couple of '32's that I've built a few years ago...
Foxer Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Since these aren't done I didn't want to post here, but I've been liking the unfinished ones that have. So here's the '32's on my bench ...
mrm Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Box stock. All paint, not a single decal on it. Sorry for the crappy pictures and thanks for looking. Edited March 29, 2014 by mrm
Bernard Kron Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Nicely done tudor. Slick flame job. I gotta get into flame masks... Whose did you use?
bullschmidt Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 First time I have posted to forum. Had to throw couple of my deuces into the mix!
1930fordpickup Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Brain what did you use for the floor covering on the Gold Car?
bullschmidt Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Andy its just a mixture of flocking (Kens Fuzzy Fur). A little brown sprinkled in with cream. You can create any color flocking by mixing various ratios together.
Prince Ital Mike Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 My Highboy: more pictures here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=84136&hl=
Bernard Kron Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Brian,excellent interpretation of the old Monogram 1/24th Deuce roadster. Same to you Michael on the bare metal 5-window. Amazing what a well-judged surface finish combined with a clear-eyed and clean execution will do.
mrm Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Nicely done tudor. Slick flame job. I gotta get into flame masks... Whose did you use? This one I got from e-bay, waaaayyyy back. I don't remember who makes it, but I believe it came from Australia.
Bernard Kron Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Here's my latest '32, the Therapy Deuce, so named because it was a quick build to overcome the disappointment of having trashed an in-progress '51 Chevy custom by melting the body... Mainly Out-Of-The-Box, and my first primer rod in a very long time. Edited July 25, 2017 by Bernard Kron
