Mooneyzs Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Dang. Johnny Boy... That is looking great!! Love all of the detail that you have put on the chassis so far. I think the contrast between the blue chassis and black chassis tins, looks killer. I also love the little detail on the chassis tins were you added the Aluminium strip with the holes. Nice Touch!! Would love to see a pic of the rolling chassis with the tins on it. I am sure It looks Awesome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Twister Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Beautiful work as always John.....No detail left unturned. Since I like weathered objects...I truly appreciate the subtle weathering techniques that you use. It adds tons of depth and realism. Good stuff!

gasser59 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Beautiful work as always John.....No detail left unturned. Since I like weathered objects...I truly appreciate the subtle weathering techniques that you use. It adds tons of depth and realism. Good stuff!I have to second what Darryl said. This would be beautiful without the subtle weathering but it adds so much more interest. Many times you don't realize what it is that makes your creations so lifelike and dimensional John, but its the weathering techniques used. Flat out gorgeous!!I could, and often do, stare at your WIP photos for a long time and soak in all of the subtle details. In fact, I think I'll go and study these last ones some more. As I do, I often just shake my head slowly side to side. Edited July 28, 2017 by gasser59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 John.. my Brother This is Engine is just looking Killer. Man you knocked it out of the part. I don't know why but there is something about the blower that is making it my favorite part. I think it is just how you painted it with the Alclad and then to top off the whole engine is the subtle weathering you have given everything to make it life like. It looks like the real thing. I am glad you enjoyed the 3D parts, Just love your work my friend. Keep up the killer work on this build, It's amazing man!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff f Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Amazing work . You show us mortals that you don't have to go completely scratchbuilt on stunning projects . The stain on the fuel tank is perfect . Of note , I have rounded the front tires on my 57 project and it helps give it a fat round look . Great job Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
