Chris Etzel both mastered and distributed his wonderful line of resin offerings which are no longer in production. I have seen and admired his models and personal builds which are on permanent display the Indy 500 Museum. Then I ended up with one of his builds purely by chance when I was looking for one of his 1920's Miller kits. Lucky Me.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.

The driver figure was in the Etzel Duesenberg kit and painted by me.
One thing I learned from this model was how to age leather. The seats showed a bit of brown wearing through the black stain in appropriate spots - a very cool and subtle technique.

What an interestingly wrapped steering wheel.

Love that Miller grill

Lacing those wheels using one long piece of wire is a daunting task.

Cheers and Happy Collecting,
Steve
