Zarana-X Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Awesome work! I never noticed where the headlight is on this bike. I'm gonna have to share this with my Mad Max friends. (I carry a "Get out of Jail free" card in my wallet because of this scene.) Edited March 8, 2012 by Zarana-X
Agent G Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Mr. Teresi, You have been warned time and time again in regards to posting photos of real vehicles which you portray as "builds". At this time sir I ask you to cease and desist or I will be forced to find you, and strike you about the head and shoulders using a rubber chicken. ###### Man that is just sweet! G
Raul_Perez Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Very Nice work, John!! The bluing on the exhaust pipes looks GREAT!! It's a very nice touch that adds to the authenticity of the model without being over done. Later,
Yahshu Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 If I hadn't seen the WIP I'd have said this is 1:1, the work you have done on this is nothing short of amazing, Now if you could just srink it down to 1/25..............
Draggon Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Wow, John, that brought a smile to my face! fantastic job. Now you need to sculpt the "Goose"!

Art Laski Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Is there a perfectly blue, cloudless sky every day out there where you are? They don't call it Sunny California for nothing! Although, he couldn't have taken these just a couple of days ago... Beautiful, John!

FASTBACK340 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 ....eh, not bad. Just kidding. I'll parrot everyone else since there are no original superlatives left... Great job!
Cool Hand Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Excellent ! Ive said it before il say it again amazing work as always John Loving this pic looks just like the 1:1
crazyjim Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Followed the WIP and still can't believe it. Just beautiful.
Jantrix Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 John if you already don't know, find out the builder of the original bike and send them some pics of what you have done here. It's just incredibly stunning.
W-409 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Truly amazing build again, John! Great idea, and those scratchbuilt parts are looking very good too. Paintjob is insane, can't believe that it's painted, not decaled. Detailing is great too.
