Always learnin' from you John. Always.
Codi Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 So much to soak in John. I just looked at your start date of this thread and just can NOT understand how you do this at such a high level and yet so quickly. Far too many details to compliment you on, but obviously another stunning Teresi build. cheers, tim
Nytrozilla Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 First things first, incredible (as per normal) work on all aspects and details on the build. Secondly, props on the prop. Yes John, I did have to do that and you know it. Secondarily, yes, (Thanx 4 Askin'), I'm fine. For those of you who know me, since I stopped building models, I changed course and have gone ape doo-doo on Legos. In my ongoing depressive state, I couldn't generate the motivation to do what John and y'all do to compete. Painting was never my strong suit, but construction, now we're talking. I've done Star Wars Legos on and off while still modeling. Now it encompasses my entire home. I've added display cases and about 40 new builds in the last year. Easy peasy, no wiring, plumbing or paint. Old modelers never die, they just move on to a different phase. Anyway, I'm always watching, so if the question ever comes up, "I wonder if Zilla saw that?" That would be a yes. A special hello to all of the MCM Family and all of the friends I've made here. I'd start naming you all, (Chris, Tim, Brad, Dave.....), but we'd be here all day. Hi-Jack Complete. I now return you to Southside Johnny's Traveling Automotorcar Show.
John Teresi Posted December 11, 2018 Author Posted December 11, 2018 Hello......thank you all so very much for the kind comments.....I really do appreciate them........I got the passenger seat installed and used "Pro Tech" 5 point seat belt harness.......I bought a few 1/25 scale guns from Ebay that my friend Steve help me find and I modified them to make a gun that resembled the 1:1 gun that is in the 1:1 Truck and got that installed......thanks for the help Steve.......I got the front nose clip on and made a hood ornament for it.... painted Alclad and lightly weathered .......Gary with GWS Decals made me some really cool decals and I got those applied, thank you Gary ......I got the doors on .......My buddy Curt Ratz printed me some "Remove Before Flight" baners........I got those applied, thank you Curt ......I also made the roof details......I also made some Chocks.....almost done with this build......thanks for looking.
John Teresi Posted December 11, 2018 Author Posted December 11, 2018 And a few more......thanks for looking
Mooneyzs Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 That is some Mighty Fine and Impressive work there Johnny Boy. To build a high detailed and scratch built build in less than 2 months. I don't know how you do it but you always do gorgeous work. Looks like it's time for a new build.
misterNNL Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 I checked this thread again today and am completely out of superlatives to use as compliments for your work. I have reread everything hoping to find what you used for the hose clamp detail on the engine but didn't find it. What did you use?

Hi....I believe they are made from MAS :Machined Alluminum Speciaties?.....my good friend sent them to me as a gift......but, I’m pretty sure that’s who makes them? Thanks
vintagercr Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Not sure how I missed this build but amazing John
Randy D Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 WOW..... Brother, this is one of your finest, 'course I say that every couple of months as you finish another build:) Beautiful details and a stunning finish on this one. Randy
gasser59 Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 Johnny, this is such a wicked build, its just over the top, seriously over the top. Say, I've studied the photos and I can't see where the pistol and rifle went. Can you show some pictures of them? Actually, I just want to see more pictures.

If I remember correctly the hand gun on the real truck was on the center console along with some shotgun shells in a custom holder. That sounds odd until you find out that those shells were used to start those radial engines when they were still in the aircraft they were built for.
DrKerry Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Wow!!!! Lucky this is a pg rated forum because what’s coming out of my mouth looking at this!!??? Un-REAL!!! Always always always love your detail and builds John!!
GoatGuy Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 John how did I miss this build? Stunning job. I LOVE it !!!! Wow what a truck.

Hotrod 97 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Very impressive work on this build. It looks amazing!
mustang1989 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Where are we at with this one John? This beauty looks like it's pretty much all but finished in the last few updates but I don't see an "Under Glass" thread on it.
NOBLNG Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 WOW! Amazing work! I have a hard time believing that this level of quality and detail can be done in 1/25 scale!
