Crazy Ed Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) John, Your attention to and skill adding detail makes following your builds a pure pleasure, and those Lights add a new dimension. FWIW you could replace those wires with ones of a much smaller gauge which would make it a lot easier to hide when you're finished.

Mooneyzs Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 John... Killer work my friend. This thing is insane!!! You know if you finish this one by this weekend or before you could start another model and have it built in time for the DSC.... Since when did you start painting your finger nails?? I that a Cali thing.... As usual you do incredible work.... I can't wait to see what else you do to this build... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nytrozilla Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 RE: Thumbnail. I'm thinking, "hammer impact reduction device".Bro. Thinking out loud. Have you tried a diffuser for the brake lights? They are a little bright and a roughed up piece of acetate between the light and the lense might knock down the glare and spread the light more evenly across the lense.That's an old Starship modeler trick.

Codi Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Wow oh wow John. Another Teresi special. How did you do the the cheater slicks btw or did you get them from a kit somewhere? cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Goschke Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 awsome !! tasty !! insane job !! love it !!! the craftmenship and detail in this is stunning !!! paint > whow ..... real fan of your work !! can i talk about one small thing i keep thinking about ?? not ment offensive !! i feel when looking at the original thats more slanted forward .. this one backwards ..its not that i dislike it .. it kind of almost gives it a funky mixed look of a showrod vs gasser .. its also looking real wide in the front and narrow in the back again i really dont dislike the look but lookin at the original its got a more narrow track in front and wider in the back .. and sitting more level ....again just a thought i had not ment in a bad way I've got to agree with Richard, stellar paint and detailing on this build, John. Love the lights! But if there was anything you could do to fix the stance to a forward, hot rod style rake like the 1/1 it would improve the basic look of the model significantly. In hot rods and customs "stance is everything!" I'm assuming the proportional differences between the model and the prototype were driven by the oversize bubble you had to work with.

Deathgoblin Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 It's absolutely fantastic so far. My own two cents on the build are that there might be a little too much space between the body and the nose, and the front axle looks a little wide. It's a gorgeous build.

Codi Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Ahhhh, got it, great idea and thanks for the info John. Even my year old daughter can identify a "cheater slick" on a car and why they made em'.......trying to raise her right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
