Here is a few pics to show some of the stuff I've built. A couple vintage drag cars. A couple civilian autos. And a couple military to boot. Thanks for looking.

Thanks alot Rob. I try to do better each build. I guess we all do eh? I don't think the outdoor pics look as good. The trucktractor and the Panzerjager look better in my own opinion. Unfortunately I don't have a dedicated photo area. So I have to drag stuff downstairs and gear it all up on the kitchen table to take photos.LOL

LOL that is always the case when taking pics, getting them right. Even then most times the look much better in person than through the camera. What you can do is get a sheet of poster board and two desk lamps. This is quick to set up and helps on those cloudy rainy days....and at night LOL
I have seen these two in better pics so no biggie here, still thing they look great. That logger is something I think that nearly everyone has seen somewhere on a farm or driving doown the road.

Thank you kindly, Spud and Tobias.
ya Rob I thought about using poster board like we all use to use for school projects. But the last time I saw some it looked like it had a sheen to it. I'll keep my eye out for some matt stuff. I've been using old matt board but I'd like to get rid of that dividing line where the two boards meet. A single, unravelled sheet of poster board or something similar would fix this. I wonder what that stuff is called that professional photographers use?

Thanks. It was fun. I've been itching to do another. Technically the spokes are too big, but I find if I close my eyes I don't notice. ;D

I'm glad they don't look out of place. But if you look at a 1:1 29 Ford you'll see the spokes are thinner. Of course, in general, plastic spokes suck. That is why making your own or getting PE for spokes is best. Especially bike kits. I don't know why I even point stuff like that out. Actually, what happened is that the guy who owns this rig, couldn't decide on a wheel colour. So he painted the wheels approximately 14 times and that thick paint is what makes the spokes look out of scale. Ya, I'm pretty sure that is what happened. ;D

Nice ! Each model looks just the part. The colorful trucks however are my favorites ! The primitive armored car is also a wowie !!!

Thanks Amorguy. I'm glad they all look the part, that's important. The pink Styre and the makeshift armoured Ford are out of my head. But who knows, someone may have been crazy enough to do that right?
