Dwight55 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Very nice John. Is that the 1/16 th scale? Years ago I wanted the 2fer kit that had the rail and funny both in one kit. Found a friend that wanted the rail so I got the funny. I still haven't built it, but your post sure makes me want to get on with it.
Dragline Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Sweet old school 1/16th John. Makes me want to break out my Garlits 1/16th and finish it. But I have so many more that need finishing. Great stuff J. Bob
6bblbird Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 So realistic! Great detail.....hey, did you flock Prudhomme's head? WF
John Teresi Posted April 8, 2011 Author Posted April 8, 2011 Dwight.......yes,it is from the 1/16 combo kit.......I still need tom make the F/C. WF......yes,Prodhomme`s head is flocked.......I tried to give him an Affro?
Ben Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Sooooooooooooooooo very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It really looks real! Don even looks like Don! LOL
Mooneyzs Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) John...Very nice build my friend. I love it. I am currently building the 1/16th scale Army Funny Car myself Love the Don Prudhomme figure. Detail looks great and the paint looks nice. I was trying to figure out which blue I was going to use for the funny car. Maybe I will get to see at the Desert Scale Classic if you are able to make it out. oh yea did you paint the rims with Alclad?? Thanks for sharing with us. Edited April 9, 2011 by Mooneyzs
John Teresi Posted April 9, 2011 Author Posted April 9, 2011 Chris.......the wheels are stock chrome with a little weathering done.......this is an older build......if I was to have built this now.........Ii would have stripped the chrome and painted the wheels alclad.......sorry, I won`t be able to make the Desert Scale Classic......I have no way to get there........good luck to you my friend.
Mooneyzs Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Hey John I totally understand about not having a way to get there. Maybe next time. I will have to keep my eyes open on some shows in southern Cali. Will get to meet you one of these days and see your stuff in person. Those wheels look great with the weathering you done.
Danno Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 John, Another GREAT build! Just been staring at the pix for the longest time ~~~ see something new every few seconds. Wow! Really sorry to hear you won't be able to make it to DSC next weekend. You'll be missed! Was looking forward to seeing you again. Well, there's next time, my friend ... Best regards!
Dragracer Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Nice build. Noticed the little side-view mirror on the car, I remember seeing them on some of the early RE dragsters, mainly "Big Daddy"s car. Even Don looks good (wonder how he'd feel about the "afro"!)LOL!
Art Laski Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Wow, John, that's nice! Looks so real... Just taking a break! Edited April 10, 2011 by Art Laski
