From the bench of my friend Felice in Venezuela

[ismaelg]

Hello,

Felice Ferriello is one of the best modelers I've ever had the privilege of meeting in person. We met online back in 1998, at what eventually became ScaleCorvettes.com. By a twist of fate, I happened to go to Venezuela on business and it turned out that in Caracas, a city of 8 million people, he lived very close to our office!!!!! I have since then gone again and we meet like very old friends. I’ve met members of his modeling club and they are a very talented and diverse bunch. Every time some co-worker goes there we try to exchange modeling stuff. His display shelf is impressive! Here are some of his builds:

His interpretation of a Z06 with a cutoff roof.

The yellow C5 in the back is one of my favorites. That was some sort of shootout/group build (group of 2 in 2 different countries) between us back in 2003. We both built Caravaggio Customs inspired cars. I did the silver convertible and he did this one. Interestingly, without knowing it, we both chose the same wheels out of hundreds of options

(psst, don't tell him but I like his better than mine... :wink: )

Perry's C5-53. I ordered it to my home and had a co-worker deliver it. Most likely the only C5-53 in Venezuela

One of my all time favorites, and the car I met him with

The very first AMT Camaro concept in Venezuela. The minute it was released, I got one for him, and another co-worker was going there the next day!

Eleanor from the movie. He built this a few years ago.

A modern companion

A Hertz Shelby

A replica of his 1:1 which is a perfectly restored car.

Monogram Boss 429

And he has the guts to say I inspire him... HA!!

I have more so I'll be posting them later.

Thanks,

[Peter Lombardo]

Not a lot to say except WOW.... Great paint Great build, and Great subjects. The Mustang's really have that "Gotcha" factor. "Eleanor" is as beautiful a build as I have ever seen. Great work. I want to see more.
