hemi Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 John I have seen a lot of truck models in my day and this is hands down the best I have ever seen.I had a hard time telling were the pictures of the real truck ended and the model began,your work on this thing is amazing as usual.Im still drooling over this one man.

cobraman Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Unfreaking believable ! That truck is just plain beautiful. As someone else said, it is hard if even possible to tell the real truck from your replica. You are a true artist to be sure. Looking forward to your next project.

Sixties Sam Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Jeez, quit posting pictures of the real truck and show the model already. I was thinking the same thing - where are the model pictures? Then I realized that those were the model pics! Incredible work, John. Just about perfect detail. Amazing work! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320wayne Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Absolutely stellar job John. Any time you can create a model that can be confused for the real thing you have accomplished a great feat. And not only the level of the build but what it represents makes this your best accomplishment to date, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
