Dragline Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Looks outstanding John. Over the top the way I like em. Bob
roadhawg Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Thats GOTTA be the coolest airbrush holder I've ever seen! Oh...the model ain't too bad either.
bigmikevee Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Hey John, Lookin' good sir, that is a cool airbrush holder, it is just amazing to me how all of your details just blend together just right, sometimes a lot of detail just doesn't quite "mesh" but yours just looks great. Can't wait to see it finished, thanks for sharing with us!! Oh, what did you use for the rivets on the paint, sharpie? Wow, you have got a steady hand, if I did that it would look like freckles everywhere!! Mike
John Teresi Posted May 28, 2011 Author Posted May 28, 2011 Hello.......I got some color on the nose and the rear body......H.O.K. kandy red over Slixx mini flakes.......baremetal foil over window frames........hand painted pinstripe with Tamiya light green.......I will clear coat the body tomorrow......I need to paint the pipes and wing and instal the glass.......thank`s for looking.
futurattraction Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 That is too cool, John. Superb job from start to (near) finish. Your concept is one-off; the execution of your vision for the project is fantastic, both in construction and finish. As Lawrence Welk used to say, "wunnerful, wunnerful" (or some such thing)...
Mooneyzs Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 John....that paint looks fantastic. Love how you went with the torn look for the paint scheme and striping the green. She sure is a beauty. Beautiful work!!
brett Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 That paint's as stunning as the rest of it John, pure eye candy
Mooneyzs Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 John, what number brush did you use for the pin striping. That is one minor detail that just adds so much to the car. I think I want to try that sometime myself. I love the choice of color and it just pops in my opinion.... well the whole car does... Still amazed at this build.
scbaker Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Best looking Jag I've ever seen ! Great paint and details... way cool for sure.
Dragracer Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 1 word John, BEAUTIFUL!, the red (with the green striping) looks great on the silver, the rip paint job came out great!, Love It!

Dragracer Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 The Jag turned out Beautiful, John, I have to say my favorite parts have to be the front end (nothing against the rest of the car mind you!), I just really like the silver & red, they go together beautifully!, also like the front & rear wheels.
