John Teresi Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Hello......this is a MPC 1/12 scale Blower Bently that I bought from Herb Deek`s about 2 years ago...... when I saw Harry Pristovnik `s Blower Bently build.......it inspired me to build mine......I searched the web for reference and came across "Master" builder Francesc Pulido`s Blower Bently .......he is from Italy.......every part was hand made with brass and he used blueprints......so I used reference from him........mine was totally changed....... to many scratch built parts and modifications to mention........mine is all styrene ........I used Tamiya J N green and Tamiya green......all chrome was stripped and painted alclad......"Pro Tech" braided line,detailing wire,spark plug wire,nut and bolt ends,fuel line and t`fittings.......wood floor and sticky back velvet .......if you would like to see how I built this model.......please look in the "Work Bench" section.........thanks for looking.
SuperStockAndy Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 You've got some explaining to do. Why did you post a real car on a model car forum?
John Teresi Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 and a few more.........thanks for looking.
Adam deCoste Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 That is one amazing look model!! The detail on it is crazy, great job.
Dr. Cranky Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Really, this one is one of Harry's REAL OR MODEL candidates. Thank you for feeding us such great eye candy to start 2012 on the right foot, John!
BOSWELL891 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Wow! that motor looks so real, and the gauges too, and the whole car also!
Dragline Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 A true Museum Piece John. I congradulate you on what is a superb effort in every way. Bob
Alyn Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 You gotta be a proud poppa, John. This baby is spectacular. Congratulations on a truly beautiful model.
Wagoneer81 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 John, I watched this build and must say that you turned out another masterpiece! This is absolutely beautiful and very well executed. I learn something new from everyone of your builds and this one was no exception. Keep up the great work!
Gregg Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Now, put it in the driveway, stand back, and get off a bunch of different angle shots, then Harry could use it for Real Or Model!!! Great work as always John. Keep on building and inspiring us my friend.
Plasticfanatic Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 A Masterpiece from every angle, the detail is SUPERB.
Greg Pugh Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Fantastic as usual. It was fun watching it come together. Thank you for sharing with us.
jeff ewaskey Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Just one word.......spectacular!!!!!! John you truly have amazing talent.
simonr Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 John, you did it again, my buddy...This is a fine example of how a great model should look...This one smells like a 2013 GSL's Best of Show Award recipient! Simón P. Rivera Torres
Erik Smith Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Fantastic John. There is a lot of hard work into this build and it turned out, well, fantastic. Fun to look at and inspirational.
CorvairJim Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I "sort of" built one of these when I was a teenager. I had no idea that it could turn out this incredibly well! I am absolutely in awe.
mookie Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I would not have believed you this was a model if I didn't follow the build. Amazing work!!!
