Mooneyzs Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 John...very nice paint work you are doing. If there was one person that I knew could pull it off I know it would be you. Keep up the killer work.
cobraman Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Your models always make me want to build better. Problems is at 65 I think I am getting worse. I know what I want to do I just don't seem to be able to pull it off. : ) Oh well, building keeps me off the streets at night.
crazyjim Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I saw the phonebooth on FB but it was blue. Different version?
Nytrozilla Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I love watching the process. You inspire us all Bro.
John Teresi Posted August 22, 2016 Author Posted August 22, 2016 Hello......thank you all so very much for the kind comments......I really do appreciate them.......My friend Ken Cornett told me about some really thin white pin stripe tape that would be perfect for the stripping on this build......it`s called "Line O Tape" I used size .010 x120".......they have different sizes and colors ......I`m ready to clear coat the body and I should have the decals in a couple of days......thanks for looking
Randy D Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Love this build Brother !!!! Superb paint as always. Randy
bobthehobbyguy Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 The paint is even more impressive. How did you do the white pinstriping?
Mooneyzs Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 John... that paint work is just killer man. I love it. The clear is going to make it all pop. You do some mighty fine work. That line o tape is awesome. Again impressive wor on this one.

Codi Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 John, of all the fantastic skills you exhibit in your builds, I must admit my bias towards your painting skills. I always look forward to the end of your builds when you get to the paint. This one is no different. Love it man. cheers, tim
grayghost Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Another great build John.I'm wondering about the tape thickness.How will it lay out after you clear coat?Oh and you are one of the best at fading those color shades.Man what I would give to have half your talent.

crazyjim Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Just amazing John. Would I be correct that you cleared right over the white tape?
John Teresi Posted August 27, 2016 Author Posted August 27, 2016 Just amazing John. Would I be correct that you cleared right over the white tape?Hi Jim......yes,I put about 3 coats of clear to even out the tape......I will sand it smooth one more time and a add another coat of clear and it should look uniform......thanks
