I like some of these old cars because they have so much character and people are so creative with them. Be cool to tool around in this in 1:1 Glad you like it. I would love to tool around in this also, but ourdays it's cheaper to buy a Ferrari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People diss on the Rustoleum, but it can definitely produce great results if you know what you're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely has some minor flaws and most people will not even pay attention to them, but I know they're there and it will for ever bug me.

STU111 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Great build. You’ve replicated the original nicely. I agree with you on the original rod, it’s understated yet impeccable appearance makes it stand out from a crowd.👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the color was Modern Mint or something like that. It was a Rustoleum spray can from Walmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing like gaining inspiration from a real 1:1 car... Thank you Tim. And you are right about the 1:1 car experience. It can do miracles for inspiration. Believe you me, this Deuce has quite few areas, where I could have done a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the 1:1 ! Thank you Oliver. I try to build models as "inspired by" rather than "a replica of". The main reason is that when I try to replicate something, I get obsessive and then go down a rabbit hole which usually ends up with the model never being finished. Where when setting off to make "a tribute" model if you will, you can maybe get as close as you want to the real thing without making that commitment and therefore not running out of interest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the '32 Fords are THE classic Hot Rod. And the colors on this particular one give it that vintage look in a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably should refrain from posting here after a couple of beers. It’s still a very clean and good looking build though. 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And reading the forum with a cold brew in hand (often times something much stronger) is one of the simple pleasures in life I am not giving up. 19 hours ago, Dennis Lacy said: Man, you nailed the colors and the stance.
