John Teresi Posted April 2, 2016 Author Posted April 2, 2016 Hello......thank you all so very much for the kind comments ......I really do appreciate them......I finished the base display for the "Iorn Lung"......I sent my buddy Art Laski a picture of the original hand painted pinstripped sign and asked him if he could shrink it down with his copier machine and so I could used it on the base......thanks Art........all I need to do is put a liscence plate on the "Iron Lung" and attach it to the base.......I will post finished pics when I get back from DSC 2016 next Sat. April 9th......thanks for looking. [/URL
Crazy Ed Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 That's insane! Given the Dio maybe you ought to replace the coin slot with a button and make a little decal for the activator box that sez, "Cost Per Ride, Your Life". What a great base and Dio for that Car.
Mooneyzs Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Oh Johnny Boy.... WOW!!!! That base if perfect and looks great!!. I love it. What a Totally cool Idea for a base. You and your creative mind are always at work. You and your work is an inspiration to me. Makes me want to be a better builder and try more new things on my builds. The Iron Lung Sign Turned out Killer and looks great!!. This whole build is just Awesome!!! and I can not wait to see it in person.
cobraman Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Wow ! Your car is fantastic and the base with the fence just put it way over the top. I sure wish I could make it to the show this year. : (
gasser59 Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Wow is right!! So glad I'm not I'm not entered in the Diorama category, wouldn't have a chance.
studebot Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 I'm guessing the actual car has a old chassis from a 40 ford or something, Just a guess .. Because that front axle looks old!!!!!!!!
John Teresi Posted April 3, 2016 Author Posted April 3, 2016 Hello......thank you all so very much for following along with this build and all the very kind comments......I really did appreciate all of them......I`m finished with this build........I got the Bubble attached and weathered the skeleton and added a helmet that I painted Alclad.........I will post finished pictures soon......thanks for looking.
Randy D Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Hi John, Holy Cr$b!!!!!! The finishing touches are a joy to be hold. Love the skeleton with the helmet The dio base looks awesome. You have quite the skill set my friend. Randy
Mooneyzs Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 John... Dude this thing turned out Awesome. Love the weathering on the skeleton and I totally love his Chrome Dome helmet. This is one heck of a build. Took you only 7 weeks to build this beauty. As Randy mentioned you are one talented builder. Can't wat to see this in person in less than a week.
Art Laski Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Looking good, man! Just a few more days and we'll be hauling this thing to the desert!
Crazy Ed Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 John, I ike the Blue tinted Picture. It really compliments and highlights the Car, it's colors and shading.
Jantrix Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Holy cow. That's just inspired. Well done sir, as usual.
bobthehobbyguy Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 That display is over the top. Gorgeous model and outstanding display.
Nytrozilla Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Less than a week before I see it in person. That alone will keep me awake the whole drive to Phoenix.
