John Teresi Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Keep this a secrete Chris & Luis Don't tell anyone, but I happen to know that John is a cyborg from the planet Modelleria and his power source never needs recharging. He feeds on Styrene and Super glue and poops out parts and urinates custom paint. Again please don't mention this to anyone.

Nitrozilla Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 ".......I am disappointed in my self....." As we all are John. This is a sad day for modeler's everywhere. No blower, no slicks, no jet engine, it can't even do a decent wheelstand !!! Sir, you are the single most diverse talent on the planet and the work that disappoints you is the work we aspire to. Keep on keepin' on John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) Romell......you forgot to mention the most important detail......I fart realism. .....so thats where it went... I suppose you farted some "realism" at the license plate of this Vette thing that is covering half the exhaust and touching the outlet. Because I've seen lots of real cars designed just like that.

" Keith......thank you for your keen observation of a replica of artist Mike Lomaka`s drawing.....or as you call it the " Vette thing"......I have corrected the license plate that was covering 1/2 the exhaust outlet........thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 the work that disappoints you is the work we aspire to. Quite right. Aside from some design issues that don't really trip my trigger, the craftsmanship and engineering in this thing are really a marvel. It might not be your personal best, but it's a best of show contender in any contest I've been in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alyn Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Romell......you forgot to mention the most important detail......I fart realism. We'll have to remember not to use the phrase: "keep it real" when you're around. Love that combination of red engine with the silky smooth red exterior. Another eye catcher for sure. Nice work on the details as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 " I have corrected the license plate that was covering 1/2 the exhaust outlet........thanks The plate doesn't look like it is covering the exhaust in Mike's drawing to me...

John Teresi Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) Hello......thank you all for your kind comment`s and for following along with this build......it was truly an honor to build this replica of Mr. Lomaka`s "Italivette".......thank`s Mike.......I have posted finished photos in the "Under-glass" section......thanks Edited August 30, 2011 by John Teresi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Wow John it truly amazes me how fast you can pump these incredible pieces of artwork out one right after the other one, i guess i just cant stay focused to keep on track and start and stop other projects, you are a truly inspiring builder for me and cant wait to see your next piece of artwork congrats another another beauty...........

Gregg Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 John, your work, inspiration, and true love of this hobby, and the people in it, always amazes me. Don't let anyone get you down with their negative comments or any dissing. We are seeing that a lot here, and we will probably always have it. But, that's the way of the Internet. Now, my two cents. The only thing that stands out on the Vette that I don't like how it came out was the windows. I wish there was an easy way to make them flush-mounted. I know our good friend Bill Geary did an article on creating scale windows before, but I wish there was a real easy way to make flush-mounted windows. My thoughts are to make a clay buck from the body, and then vacuum form clear windows, or something like that. Thoughts, ideas? Great job, John, and yes, I would have changed the color also. I love the colors available from Jameston at ScaleFinishes.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
