hemi Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 First I wanna say that this model has taken "Modeling as a spectator sport" to new heights. I love clicking in on the latest installments, it just makes my day. Part of that is that you are consistently building, no long waits between reports like on my builds! Second, anyone who hasn't learned something from this thread is brain dead! The skill and imagination that's gone into creating this car is as over the top as the subject matter. I can't wait to see 'er done! Only then I'll be sad that it's come to an end... kinda like when your favorite show goes off the air! One of my favorite parts of watching John build is the end of the wip,....Cause you know theres another one brewing already.John your awesome.
Mooneyzs Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 John.... those flames look awesome and I love the color. What color is it? I am guessing HOK right? I have been eyeing those flame masks myself and I need to get an order in. Which sets were those from if you dont mind me asking . Again this build is just beautiful and i am loving it. Nice work!

Mooneyzs Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 John... Thank you bud. I appreciate it. i just love the color combo's on this build. I will show you some pics of a build I want to do some flames on when you are here for the Desert Scale Classic. I truly can't wait to see this one in person next month.
Mooneyzs Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 TREMENDOUSLY COOL.... another home run John.... More like a Grand Slam
Da_Wolfman Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 John, Awesome Paint. I have a newbee question...since the paint for the flames is laid down over the pink, it leaves them looking "3-D", or like they are sitting on top of the pink coat. How do you get the edges to lay flat? Thanks in advance.

Hi Dan........after I lay down the rest of the flames........I will give everything a clear coat........then I will wet sand the clear coat.......then I will lay down another clear coat.........then I will sand again and then give a final clear coat........and everything should be smooth as glass.......thanks
Chas SCR Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 @Dan as you are (newbie) Also doing like what John has done makes it matt as 1, (if you wanted a 3d or raise look to a flame you put a clear coat between the color and flame to help raise it.
John Teresi Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Can the flame masks be used more than once or are they a one and done type of deal? Hi Roger........one and done type.........but,if you want a cool flame job for a decent price without all the hassles ........I highly recommend them........thanks.
TFchronos Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 How did I miss this for so long... Wow, this is one wild build, can't wait to see it when it's done.
John Teresi Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Hello.......thank you all very much for the kind comments........I finished all the flames on the body........I still need to add 2 flames to the trunk lid........I will do that in a couple of days..........I will clean all the edges on the body and give it`s first clear coat tonight..........the flames are "Not" exactly like the 1:1 car but,good enough for the girls I go with........thanks for looking.
John Teresi Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 few more progress photos.......thanks.
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 John, Those flames are killer. bobthehobbyguy
wrecker388 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Jeez, it just keeps getting cooler every time I look at it.

Thanks! I was asking because in the past I had tried some two tone paint jobs and there was always the definative raise to the second color. I never bothered with "blending" it in, but never thought to ask "how" either!!!
GoatGuy Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 John - superb, fantastic and all the other words...............
