Kustom Rodder Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 What an outstanding build should be put in a museum.
Dragline Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I truly cannot find a word to convey my admiration for this creation John. Bob
Burnout Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 That is just incredible John! It really turned out great. I always like checking out your models and this one is over the top. The whole thing is fantastic but I've got to say the paint job and decals are superb. Keep 'em coming!
Art Laski Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Simply incredible, my friend. Incredible... You are an artist!
Sixx Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 The master artist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geez, all I can say is WOW!!! Outstanding art John!!!
customsrus Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I vote real !!!!!!!!!!! oh wait that is another thread but this could sure pass for the real thing if we didnt know it was a model. Great build John, whats next????????
Guest Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Incredible work as usual with you John! You have the best eye for detail,scale and realism. Your talents are just over the top!
Bernard Kron Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Incredible work as usual with you John! You have the best eye for detail,scale and realism. Your talents are just over the top! I think that says it very well. I have to admit that I'm still not quite to the point where I understand exactly what I'm seeing, despite following along on the build threads. There's some sort of conceptual leap happening here. The remarkable thing is that when you see them in-scale, as it were, as I do each year at the NNL West, they look just as convincing. This can only indicate that there's a faithfullness of detail and crispness that carries you as far as the eye can see (or the lense can focus). The large size of this particular model only emphasizes the depth of realism even more, making these particular pictures even more shockingly "real" than, say, the small rods or drag cars. Bravo, John. So many beautiful textures, finishes and details to enjoy on this one. Thanx again for the pleasure you give us. Edited June 18, 2012 by Bernard Kron
vintagedragfan Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 John, what a great fathers day gift, I am sure your dad will be proud to display this amazing piece of work!, looks like you cleaned out all of the styrene racks in a 50 mile radius! this my friend is why you are the man!! outstanding work!!!!
bsoder Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I'm sittin' here trying to think of an adequate reply ??? I've seen John's work personally and words don't apply to the detail level he brings to the table!... but this is just magnificant B)
3men2s Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 John, One day I walked in to a Hobby Shop after almost 12 years to be out of the hobby. I walked out with a couple of magazines and in one of them I saw your work and I was hooked and You still kikking A's , This Truck in tribite to your father, #1, Teresi you have lots of fans Thanks for sharing.
Dr. Cranky Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Another Teresi masterpiece. Pure and simple. The details make this one into a great subject, and it easily lends itself to some fun photography with diorama elements. Great job, John, and congratulations. Again and again.
Pro Tech Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 John, beautiful job! amazing what you can do with raw material. Charlie Pro Tech

Foxer Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I'm just glad this isn't Harry's "Real or Model" thread ... I wouldn't know how to vote! You've surpassed yourself, John! Unusual subject done incredibly well!
lillakev Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 John, you forgot to include the pictures of your model! That is just too awesome.
Grumpa Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Incredible job John. You didn't miss a trick on this. Right down to the misspelling of Ft. Lauderdale. Absolutely fantastic.
Terry Sumner Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 OH MY GOD!!!!! I have so many expletive swear words for this in a good way that would get bleeped out here. This is just unbelievable! The best truck model I have ever seen in my 60 years on this planet!
krazyglu Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 John you amaze me more and more with every build. I saw it in the workbench area and thought it was such a cool idea that I told even my non model kit buddies about it. I know a bunch of people have already said this, but you can't tell when the pictures of the real truck stop.....I guess that's why you wrote that in capital bold letters John amazing job and you truly are a inspiration to us all.
pmodwrks Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Kooool Stuff, John. At first I thought this was photos of the real deal... You continue to turn out amazing models!!! Chris Hale Head Flunky So Cal NNL Precision Model Werks
