The 3 window he has is a 33. It was mastered by a friend of mine and they were calling it a 34 then I pointed it out that it was a 33 and he changed his add to 33 3 window (at least I thought he did). The louvers on the hood are curved and the grille trim is thin. And there is no flange at the rear of the side window as there is on the 34's. I hope I didn't make them mad as it was just an observation. He is a member here and I hope he pops i n and posts a better picture of it.
I started this master buck over 15 years ago and still will probably never finish it. Maybe someday...
Ken is looking for pre-orders to help defer the cost of the silicone molds and the resin. He has three confirmed orders (including me) and needs a total of ten to be able to cast them. So if you want one don't be shy. It's not every day a new body comes out.
I have been working on this one lately. It was given to me in 2010 from a guy at work was falling apart and was built as highboy.Broke it all apart and started over and I am missing parts to finish..thanks Darrell
Just snagged a Lindberg Model T and a Big Deuce from that auction site. Both were advertised as being for parts. So far I have only received the "T". I want to make it a lakes style roadster with a track nose. Any advice on modifying the upper cowl to reduce the vertical upsweep?
This may interest some of you. Built it to have a look at some of the options for a 3 bar front end and it went on from there. Unfortunately a friends young son knocked it off the bench it was on and since then its sat in a cupboard. All scratch built in brass and white metal. Made the masters and cast the white metal bits. All the UJs work and the rear wheels are held on with wheel nuts.
how's this for a familiar story--i had a "big deuce," but mom put it in the trash when i was away in the army.
My mom was the opposite. When I was in the army my parents moved from California to Connecticut. All my models were packed up by my mom and made the trip. When they moved back to California, the boxes came back with them. I found them all back in the late 60s and managed to lose, give away or screw up over half of them. I found the remaining 2 boxes about a year ago. Not gonna do anything but repair the damaged ones and save them all. Still have a started but unbuilt Big Duece in the box I bought sometime in the 80s.
Help! I am building a 1/12 scale 57 Chevy for a mate, and the windscreen got broken by 4 year old hand's. Right when I'm almost finished. Was doing the bare metal foil around windscreen, and the kid snapped the screen, before I could get in in the car. Anyone have a spare? I will buy a complete kit if I have to, but will try for a window only first. Cheers, Jeff.
I'm getting closer to being done.Need to make hood fit a little better mount rear bumper and I don't know where I am going to put this big thing to keep it from getting all dusty.Darrell
Here is a large scale model I just finished. 1/4 scale model that I digitally inserted into a salt flats background.
My Mom was dusting the shelf and snagged my Big Deuce front bumper and down it went. As George Carlin would have said, "smithereens".
Nice execution. I had to build my wheels the old fashion way without printers. I will post some cragar s/s that I made a master from scratch, casted them and sent them off to chrome tech for plating.
Thanks guys, everything scratch built as no parts are available for 1/4 scale display models. Fiberglass body, steel frame, resin and plastic engine, urethane rubber tires etc.. When you walk into a room, you notice a 1/4 scale model. Pics of the other comp-coupe model I finished about the same time. All scratch built. Same deal with the rear wheels and tires but the cycle tires are machined and hand laced.
Wow, great stuff. I thought the twin Pontiac powered 1/8th scale 32 Modified i have in the works was cool, but yours is outstanding! Would like to see a beer can next to it for the size.
