Bernard Kron Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Wonderfully dramatic paint scheme and the usual stunningly real detail, textures and execution. Despite some of the comments on the w.i.p., I think the light weathering on the tube frame adds an extra dimension to an already exquisite build. Bravo!

Harry P. Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Ok... I'm the guy who said the frame should not have been weathered... And I stick with that. I still say a car like that, racing in the class that it would, with the $$$ invested and required to compete at that level, would never be allowed to get to a point where the frame looks like that. No way... the crew would never let it happen. It may look "realistic" to some of you guys as far as modeling goes, but it's not very realistic in terms of reality. Just my opinion; if anyone cares to prove me wrong I'll gladly admit I was off base. But... that issue aside, let me go on record saying that I think the model is phenomenal and John's talents are off the charts. There's no bigger fan of John's talents here than me. I am thoroughly impressed by this model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Z Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 John, this is a truly remarkable build. Once again you have broken that very fine line that runs between real and model, if I didn't know this was a hand built model I would swear that it was real. GREAT JOB!!!

hOLMS Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 You know, I've seen my fair share of scale dragster builds in many different disciplines and some have been so great that I was just amazed, in a state of awe actually. The only way they could be more realistic is if they were a real 1:1. Well, this one is better than those and is the best I've seen. The imagination, engineering, scratchbuilding and bodywork done here is second to none and I say that with meaning! Great job Mr. Teresi, this one is an incredible piece of work, bravo! I've followed from the very start and I've had to pick my jaw off the ground more than once during the build. Very one-of-a-kind and truly unique to the max! I still don't understand how anyone could have negative thoughts/comments on this build as a WIP or Under Glass....furthermore, post those comments. It really would not matter if it was painted orange-peeled pink and washed with used coals and dirt (would still be great!). I do think Mr. Teresi has already explained this was his build, his way, and for him only. This was a build for us to enjoy and learn from, I know I have and I appreciate it being shared. I only hope my projects will be half this great. Again, Great Job....You are a Master and I'm a big fan!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegt738 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 This is an incredible build, and a subject I would not have thought of for a Pro Mod. Fantastic work John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 This one is too cool! If someone would ask that Real or model, I'd say real if I could not know that it's a model. Really impressive paintjob, I like especially that front clip. Colors are great too. Amazing bodywork you did, and frame looks good too. How someone can build something that nice from styrene tubing? And of course, detailing is perfect. I can't imagion any details to it anymore, is that engine running yet? And very nice pictures too. Great job, this is the best model, I've seen in long time here.
