Mooneyzs Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'll take some of that too as I can't even finish a 1/24th scale build in a year. Haha... heck... its been over 2 years since I have finished a build.... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie@mrtractorsales.com Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 John, the work you have done on both rails is outstanding! Lots of detail and thought seems to just flow out of you when you do a project. I learn something new each time you do a build, thanks for sharing with us.

brett Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Phenomenal work John. Its not just that's its so cleanly put together or that they're built so fast or that they're weathered to perfection, Realism can be obtained by a few builders on this forum, but you ............ you seem to capture the very essence of what you build and it shows. Thank you for sharing some of the processes you take, I'm sure all of us take something in from all you share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) John... Awesome work on this bud. The Snake looks killer and I love all of that detail you got going there. I am gonna have to see if I can get FED done before next weekend . You have inspired me to get mine done that has been sitting for the past 17 years and was painted 2 years ago lol.

Ira Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 BEAUTIFUL WORK JOHN!!! Very Realistic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatGuy Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Brett's right. I can only speak for myself, but I'm sure plenty of us take in what you do and try to apply these techniques to our builds. I have learned to study photos of the 1:1 cars to better replicate the real thing in small scale, but I have a lot to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPolli Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 John Very beautiful work! Looking at your work makes me want to build. Thank you for posting. Would love to build 1/16 scale but have a problem of placing/storing them in my apartment. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planearranger Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Maestro Teresi... if you've addressed this in another forum, I missed it so forgive me; I just wanted to ask how do the drivers of the vehicles you've done feel about your work? I do remember something with you & Tommy Ivo and the 4 engine Buick/glass transporter, is that right? I'm just thinking how cool it would be that Tom and Don would surely be blown away by these builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooneyzs Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 John... This is just top notch work my friend. I have to agree with Bill that this is a work of art. This looks killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in Berwyn Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 First, these are two great builds. But what is almost as amazing is you started on March 24!! I have gotten almost nothing done on a model in that time, and you have cranked out two beauties! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sflam123 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Absolutely, positively amazing work sir. The detail is beyond words. I know as modelers our goal is to "mimc" the 1:1 car, but your work is so good I'm not sure I could tell from a picture whether I was looking at your model or the actual car. These are truly works of art! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasser59 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I hope your decals were waiting for you when you got home from DSC. I had a blast hanging out with you and talking styrene and alclad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I hope your decals were waiting for you when you got home from DSC. I had a blast hanging out with you and talking styrene and alclad. I have to agree here. It was such a blast hanging out this weekend and talking plastic. I can't wait to see these two done and hoping as well that your decals got there.
