Oh my, that is a real beauty David!
The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.

I read your build thread David. What a horror show!
Amazing that you got such a grand result.

Beautiful finish, when are you going to start on the 1-1 scale vehicles?
It's only pain, work through it.

Deusenbergs are an absolute favourite of mine.
Monogram did a few 1/24th kits back in the 60's, the 1930 SJ Torpedo was my favourite.
Are these 1/18th kits still available anywhere because that looks fantastic.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Thanks. There are a series of them with different bodies and they come up regularly on eBay over here for reasonable prices. They were originally by Hubley but appear in boxes by Gabriel, Ertl and JLE Scale Models (sometimes just Scale Models). Be warned though, this was not an easy build.

That said, it makes a very imposing and handsome automobile.
