sobpinstriping Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Wow! you did a fantastic job I love that car and you did it justice!
Harry P. Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I've never seen or heard of this car, and now that I see it I have to say I'm not a fan of the actual car... but HOLY ######! John, you are a master craftsman. Your modeling skills are off the charts! I don't know how you do it, but I am very impressed.
Danno Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 HOLY ######! John, you are a master craftsman. Your modeling skills are off the charts! I don't know how you do it, but I am very impressed. What Harry said. (Although I had seen the 1:1 before John created the model.) Ten Thumbs UP!

Jeff Johnston Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 whoah...thats gotta be the coolest build I've seen in a long time,
Railfreak78 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Hey John, Great build as well as what the guys have said. I'm not a bubble top fan but I like this one a lot. FanPlastic work!
Peter Lombardo Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Well John, I have to agree with most here, your build is magnificent, but the actual car....the real car is really not.....well, let's just say, not all it could be. Congratulations on an impressive build.....it is a sure winner.
george 53 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 WOW! But how do you keep the fingerprints off of it? Or you just DON'T pick it up? ANOTHER fabulous build John, just beautiful!
Pro Tech Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 John, whatever you decide to put paint and glue to always turns out to be a piece of art. Super job on all aspects!!! Charlie Pro Tech
