Casey Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Are you planning to sink the faux-spare tire further into the trunklid to have it match the real car/truck's "toilet seat" trunklid?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemi Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 John I have watched you build several works of art here and I gotta say this one is just as good as any in my opinion,I could stop building and just watch you and have as much fun.

Guest Johnny Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Just a big WOW John! I would never even dream of attempting a build as complex as this! Just to have the vision to look at the 1:1 and know what you would have to use to build it is a fantastic accomplishment in itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gautreau Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Another stunning build. Can't wait to see the end result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro Wrench Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 All that custom body work done (and to perfection I might add) on a 1/25 scale car and the one thing that gets noticed the most is that a set of KIT STOCK valve covers are on upside down. Actually pretty funny when you think about it. As far as the "beauty" of the 1:1 subject matter, sure, it might not be some peoples cup of tea including mine. Then again, scalemaster's Super 7 and kennb's MG aren't either but one cannot deny the pure skill in the amount of customizing and scratchbuilding that has to be done to reproduce them in scale. Stuff like that is EXACTLY why I joined this forum in the first place. My hat's off to ALL of you as I strive to perfect my skill to at least some fraction of yours.

gasser59 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Dumbfounded. Just caught up with this thread and although the syle of vehicle doesn't appeal to me, the creative and skillfull craftsmanship does. Completely over the top John. Will we be seeing this next month John? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will we be seeing this next month John? Brad when I saw John at the NNLs this year. He mentioned to me he should have it done by the Desert Scale Classic. I Cant wait to see this in person.
