Renek Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Duesenberg Howard Hughes, used to pull a glider at his El Mirage Soaring School in 1947. There is only one photo available, so I just got inspired. The car should give an unkempt impression of being used on the dusty desert runway of the dry El Mirage Lake, California. Even today, the typical "diamond" shape of the airfields is still evident even though there is a new airport there. I used a damaged model of Dusi, on which I built the entire duralumin bodywork, then I created the whole system of winch with the machinist's workplace, finally I made the cover of the driven rosette and added a washer. The model now weighs 1.7kg It is true that the model is different from reality, but the color scheme is not entirely clear. I searched for other photos or information about this particular car and I found out that it was maybe black or dark gray and had a daytony in black or green or perhaps the original chrome strings. perhaps therefore take the model as a free inspiration. Although the winch drive was probably driven by belts, I eventually used a chain drive ... Vinobraní fotografie Můj model z podobného úhlu ...

harveyb258 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) That is an exquisite piece of modelling, Sir.....hat's off to ya!! You have managed to capture the age, feel and moment-in-time of the subject, which (I know from experience) is one of the hardest things for a modeller to attempt.

Podařilo se vám zachytit věk, pocit a okamžik v daném čase, což je podle mého názoru jedna z nejtěžších věcí, které může modelář zkoušet. Na zdraví, H Thank you very much, I am glad you like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
