RancheroSteve Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Good to meet you too, Danno. I really enjoyed hearing about Bob Peeples and his Cobras, and seeing some of his fine work up close. Very moving. Fabrizio - congratulations on your first GSL - you really made a splash! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. This was my fifth time at GSL, and for some reason it made me think of how far I've come: the first time around (2005) I didn't know anyone and felt kinda out of place - now it's an opportunity for me to reconnect with old friends and a chance to get to know folks better. I had a very hectic but enjoyable weekend, now I'm having GSL withdrawal. 2017 will be here sooner than we think - gotta get busy on finishing some builds.

Fabrizio - congratulations on your first GSL - you really made a splash! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. Thank you Steve, looking forward to see you too in 2017...

Art Laski Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Thanks, Fabrizio. It was nice to meet you too. Your work was fantastic. Really glad I got to see it in person, especially the Janis Joplin Porsche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 John... Wow Brother... I can't thank you enough for taking pics at your famous Picture location. It's an honor to have you take them there. I know you were saying you were going to reveal a secret project soon and I didn't know it was going to be this. I was thinking it was going to be the next kit you are going to build. Thank you so much man!! Clayton... Thank you. Cars: Beautiful. Close ups of Chris: Not beautiful. Danno... I can't stop laughing. I think that picture broke Johns iphone.... LOL Art... Sad thing was that was taken before the awards.... haha Fabrizio... I think you need to market the scale smoke by packaging that stuffing in a little bag...lol my dog has torn up a fair share of his toys and I never thought to use the stuffing for something like that, it definitely added a totally cool affect. Again I really enjoyed all of your builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell C Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 ....@Russel and Chris, I remember that day when we found out about the couch, my wife was not very happy, and I was giving a Milk-Bone (dog biscuit) to the dogs, because I saw the potential on this material. Maybe I can bring some "smoke" a the next GSL... Or sell it to everyone, like one Randy Derr suggested. For laughs, maybe one of our cartoonists could draw a logo of a dog with teeth clenched on fuzz stretching from a cushion (more comical than this example) & lettering saying "Brizio Smoke".....

Nitrozilla Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Whoa Brother John. Missed this yesterday. Warn a person next time with the un-selfie already. I freaked the first time I saw it and you didn't warn me then either. Brother Chris, that is what is called award winning craftsmanship. Period. Well deserved.

Danno Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 The over-riding mystery of GSL: What happened to John Teresi's beard????? Inquiring minds want to know . . . (maybe). What exactly happened that night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Nemanic Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Danno, didn't you know that Teresi's beard is retractable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 No, I didn't get the memo. Kinda like a porcupine's quills? Or, a jumping cholla cactus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Thanks, Fabrizio. It was nice to meet you too. Your work was fantastic. Really glad I got to see it in person, especially the Janis Joplin Porsche. Thank you Art! Fabrizio... I think you need to market the scale smoke by packaging that stuffing in a little bag...lol my dog has torn up a fair share of his toys and I never thought to use the stuffing for something like that, it definitely added a totally cool affect. Again I really enjoyed all of your builds. Good idea for selling the smoke, but I don't know how explain it to my wife... Maybe I can cover the couch with a comforter sheet, so I have more time to think what to tell her... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of the cartoonish logo, I can probably make some t shirt too. You and Chris of course will get one for free!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks to all who posted photos. It was so good to see all of Teresi's, Fabrizio's, Chris', Simon's & other's work in person. Mind blowing stuff! It seems like there was just not enough time to talk to everyone, but it surely was good talking to you, Steve R. I also see photos of things that I say, "How did I miss that??" Congrats to those of you here who received awards. Very well deserved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford guy Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Wow Stray, doesn't a big city like Sydney have model contest? If you ever get the chance to go, go, you'll love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
