Thanks Ray……..here is a quote from Tommy to me and a few of his pictures………thanks for looking………...

John,
Thanks again for the "Honey Do" job!!! <Ivo type grin> As usual, you did a masterful job on it. I keep giving you chicken BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH and you keep making chicken salad out of it!!! <next Ivo type grin>

The difference in the paint jobs, looks like he painted it with a broom. Compared to the "Oscar" quality job you did on it. I have bigger files of these, if you need them for some reason.

Thanks again. You have magic in your fingers!!!

TV Tom

PS
Which way do you like it the best. On the end, or in the middle? That's some pretty good "Hall of Fame" company it's living with now!!!

I think you missed a place, when you shaved this morning!!! <last Ivo type grin>

John,It's almost scary the amount of detail you do.. Very cool,for lack of a better term.

Great pics of 'TV' Tommy Ivo. I can remember when he was on TV. :blink:

Love the chess set too!

I've been following this thread actively, but I've been speechless from the beginning! Fantastic work with the details. Especially those carburetors look very good, I wish those were available in 1/25, too. The gas tank is another masterpiece, I have never seen anyone else who has simulated the fuel inside the tank in a Model Car... Amazing!

Hey John, first, thanks for including me on the list Ivo is holding, what a nice surprise :) and thanks back to you for using my products, you make em shine! Your build is coming out beautifully. With the originality of your builds I think you need to do more full mag article builds (hint, hint....Gregg) your sure to expand their overall base interest. Will be looking for more.

John simply amazing work as usual!! Hey I have a question about your parachutes on previous builds: what do you make the attachment cords out of and where do you attach them on a funny car? Thanks John!

Hi Jim……..I use the inner core of 'Pro Tech" braided line……..and usually you have a pull cord above the head on the roll cage or the sides of the roll cage…….you can Goggle parachute cords and you will probably get some reference pictures…….thanks.

I tell you John....You have to be the best model builder on the earth! Your detail work is simply amazing and you turn out these ultra, super detailed and realistic builds like they are from a kit. Great stuff and my hat is off to you for working primarily with plastic. WOW!
