iBorg Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I second the STUNNING verdict. Other words seem to fall short. Mike
Jon Cole Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Just too much! That is TOO GOOD! I would bet my bottom dollar that your close-up shots could fool some into believing the pics are of a 1:1 machine! You do fantastic work, John!
noname Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Amazing job. It does look like real. The weathering plays a major role in my opinion.
bigmikevee Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Hey John, Wow, too cool, perfection comes to mind, just....wow. Wow. Mike
pharr7226 Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 I can't say enough about this incredible build. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Dennis Lacy Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 If you guys think this build is stunning in these pictures, it is absolutely, insanely increadible in person! I was fortunate to see it up close and personal at the San Diego NNL show yesterday. Absolutely mind blowing how detailed and realistic this model is.
Danno Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Unbelievably spectacular, John!! I've stared at these pix for a half an hour and I've only found three tiny little details that convince me it's actually a model and not the 1:1 article! I never thought I'd see a more convincing replica than your Easyrider streamliner ... til now. WOW! WOW! Spectacular. PS: So what're you gonna do next ... to top this one?

Danno thank you for your kind words.........I have already made a 1/16 Don Garlits sidewinder dragster that I showed at the San Diego NNL........and a few people liked it better than the Jammer liner........I`ll post it soon......thank`s again.
Jim Gibbons Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 That is museum quality work. Amazing, simply amazing. Every model you post looks 1:1 and your photography is impeccable. Thanks for sharing this.
Zhu Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Exceptional, extraordinary, stupendous………………….
mcandela Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 WOW!! Stop posting real pics, this is a modelers forum.
Clay Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 It ain't fair posting a real bike on a model car forum. You should be ashamed!!! In all honesty, great job John. I love it.
bsoder Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Another freakin' STUNNING build John...just amazing
John Teresi Posted August 16, 2010 Author Posted August 16, 2010 Thank you everyone for the kind comments.......and thank you "Model Cars" forum for giving me the opportunity to share my builds with fellow modelers.......greatly appreciated.
dimaxion Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 One word ; Incredible ! I lost this one . Thanx
george 53 Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) I'm just AMAZED at how you can do this level of detail!!! ALL the pics were doin it for me, but the detail on the embossed material in the cockpit was a wee bit too large.But YEESH John, it really DOES look like it was shrunk down from the real Mc Coy!!!Simply BEAUTIFUL! Edited August 19, 2010 by george 53
Dr. Cranky Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 It's a piece of modeling art! Great, beautiful contribution to the hobby.
Romell R Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 MAN! I cant believe i didnt comment on this (sorry bro) but Im still in awe of your ablitiy to capture in 1/12 scale what is already a piece of art, And make that art your own. If you guys havent seen this one in person then your not seeing the whole picture. Pictures dont do this build justice. OUTSTANDING WORK JOHN!!!!!! Bravo!!!
