1:8 32 Ford... Big Deuce with Big detail

viperofoz · 07-04-2006, 02:05 AM

This is a build I really need to get back into and finish.

Its a Revell 1:8 scale 32 Ford roadster with all panels opened up and hinged.... including the cowl vent and many other scratch built details so far.........

Let me know if you would like to see more.

Regards, Dan

Of course we'd like to see more! So tell me, what does the engine sound like when it's running? Fantastic work. I know this is a bigger scale but your details are amazing all the same. Great workmanship here.

Looking good so far Dan!

Have you used the photoetch grill insert or have you cut out and sanded the back of the original part? I was worried that the photoetch would look too flat but if this is the part it looks really nice.

I love to see more!

NO, its not the PE grille from The model car garage.... as you state,
it really does look too flat in this scale.

I simply cut the bars from the custom grille in the kit (that way if I messed up I'd still have the stock grille).

Then once I was left with just the outer grille frame I used music wire and cut new bars that were much more in scale and fitted them in place with CA.

Here's the new grille next to the mostly scratch built see-through radiator core

And finally... with a coat of paint.

I've always fancied this kit. Really looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
Great start

No no more pics, this thread is garbage.....LOL YEs more pics please. this build is looking incredible. Just add gas and im sure that flathead will run. Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming

Heres a few more details I've prepared for the Deuce:

Heres the hinged reverse opening trunk... in preperation for a dickie seat

I built the banjo wheel using brass rod and the kit supplied rim and hub.

Here are the carbs on the flathead with return spring..... fuel lines and clamps will be added once its installed

Heres a shot of the scratchbuilt valve stem with dice cap and modifies trim ring.

More to come

Regards, Dan
