John Teresi Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Hello......this is the first Durachrome bug that I built about 3 years ago.....I had posted the other one that I did awhile ago......this Durachrome bug was one of the few that Warren built as a 1:1 car.......I stated with Reliable Resins body......scartch built frame and tins......wired and plumbed.....parts from parts box......Dupont "Jarret" red and Tamiya gold......foil.....thank`s for looking.
Steve Prideaux Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Another great build, John. I had the pleasure of meeting you and seeing some of your models at the NNL West a couple of weeks ago. You take great pictures, but, seeing them in person is unbelievable. Great work. Steve Prideaux
brett Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 You know what I like most about your builds John? the fact that the finishes are so realistic, that you gotta look twice to make sure it is indeed the model you're looking at . Awesome work as usual !
caine440 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Outstanding as always! I agree with Brett, the finishes are amazing!
Kanedge Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Sweet build John, once again another excellent build. Well done.
Greg Pugh Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Hey John, you got any gluebombs to show us? Beautiful as usual!!
Terry Sumner Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Man! Can you imagine DRIVING that little short wheelbase sucker down the track? I bet that car was a real handful to drive...much like a fuel altered!
Mooneyzs Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Nice job and looking good John!! on a side note, seeing the bug made me want to as if you know if anyone made a 1960's bug and if not whats the best kit that would be the closest to it. thanks
6bblbird Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I always look forward to checking out a Teresi build. I really like the finish on the engine. Looks like it has seen some serious action! WF
Danno Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Another sweet one, John! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Mooneyzs Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Tamiya's '66 Bug is pretty nice. Thanks Greg, I will look for one of those.
Dragracer Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 No big block Chevy? Nice build John, always thought that the "Bug" was a strange but cool car,from what I always heard about the car was that it loved the guard rails, "kissing" them on about every run. I also have to agree with Casey, I was under the impression that the car was a BBC, I know at least the first one was, did Gunther switch to a hemi for the 2nd car?

Hi Richard.......thank`s for the comment........in this post I stated that I built this bug 3 years ago.....I just built it with parts box parts......he did run BBC`s.......back then I just built for fun.....now day`s I try to be more accurate.......this secound bug was another that he ran ......I tried to be a llittle more accurate using parts box parts again........to resemble a Chevy......but as you can tell it`s not that accurate.....but,it was the best I could do with what I had.......thank`s again,John
Dragracer Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 And another nice build!, really like the paint John, looks great.
Iron Fist Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Outstanding on both. Edited March 23, 2011 by Iron Fist
funhouse1 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Would the group of engineers and artists that post as 'John Teresi' please cease and desist so that the rest of us schlubs won't feel so inadequate? Seriously though, you are one BMF builder and I don't mean bare metal foil...
