Nitrozilla Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 John, you just gave me a "Eureka" moment. Every time I would re-putty after primer, I would sand down the areas to be retouched. I never occurred to me that the putty would bite into the primer. You just saved me tons of work.
slusher Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Great work and progress John, Your getting there...
Codi Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 You are moving at "Teresi Speed" now. Great work and so realistic again John. Thanks for sharing. Tim
Dominik Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I love watching your builds John. Always a surprise around each corner. Keep up the good work man i couldn't say it better. Your work is impressive as always John.
John Teresi Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Hello........thank you all so very much for the kind comments........I really do appreciate them ...........I attached the battery and made a fire wall and attached the Jag componets to the the fire wall .......I also finished the interior ,purple velvet flocking and I modified the steering yoke that Gordon Clark sent me to resemble the original..........I also got the body painted.......I starrted with a H.O.K. Shimering gold base coat at the nose to a Shimering Silver fade at the back.........then I started to airbrush in the middle with the H.O.K. Kandy Pagan Gold fade to a H.O.K. Kandy Tangerine fade ,to a H.O.K. Kandy Red fade.......then I went the other way with H.O.K. Organic Kandy Green fade ,to a H.O.K. Cobalt Kandt Blue fade to a H.O.K. Kandy Purple fade.......and then a clear coat........I will sand down the clear coat today and give a final clear coat........thanks for looking.
gasser59 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Oh my gawd!! That is stunning. Your paint jobs are spectacular lil brother. Now my eyeballs hurt and I need to go and change my undies.
Codi Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Man John, you are really good with an airbrush. WOW is all I can offer. Tim
GerN Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Your work is simply beautiful, as always. I also admire your discipline: you stayed true to the original, and I know how creative you can be. Btw, I would have made a quick resin copy of the seat after all the effort put into it (I need to save all the time I can because I'm slow and lazy), but your way probably does look better. Great model!
Mooneyzs Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 John.... my big brotber... that paint work is amazing. You sure knocked it out of the park. I love your paint jobs. You got skills and I hope to be able paint as good as you someday. as Brad said.... I need to go change my shorts now....
Tom Geiger Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Looks good John! And you are ahead of the GSL deadline! Hope to see the model and you there!
