lanesteele240 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I highly doubt that those lap belts are sufficient. This thing is a rocket ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Teresi Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 I highly doubt that those lap belts are sufficient. This thing is a rocket ship Gary.......yes,I agree ......but,they are like that in the 1:1 car.......I guess he is on a suicide mission?

Draggon Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) You should tighten up those huge panel gaps. Edited June 11, 2013 by Draggon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) John.... that paint is just wicked and looks killer. You nailed this one out of the park. Love it brother! Edited June 11, 2013 by Mooneyzs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 There we are... the reason I left it up to somebody else to model this car. No way in Hell I'd ever be able to duplicate that paint job. Looks like John is nailing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Lacy Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 few more progress photos.......thanks It's too bad that you got in such a hurry to paint that you didn't take the time to make the doors actually fit and be the same shape as the holes in the body. Those gaps are gonna stick out like a sore thumb no matter how fancy the paint job is. Kind of a shame with all the detail you've put into other areas of the project. I will concede that the final fit of the engine does look better than the mock-ups and more true to the 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Teresi Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hello........thank you all for the kind comments .......I really do appreciate them........I airbrushed the graphics on the top of the body and scoop....... I used an old doll dress off one of my daughters dolls.......I know the lace is out of scale ......but,it is good enough for the girls I go with.......and I need to add my "MY Models are not Perfect"........and I am happy with that .......so I will continue to do what I like.......building models for the fun of it........thanks.
