otherunicorn Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 There is something about this photo that tells me that if this is a real car, I need to be very very scared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patami Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Model (a big one) the gravel in the foregroumd dosent add up whit the rest of the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Model. There are real car tracks on the sand, and they are way bigger. It's large scale tough, really large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimaxion Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I think this is a Model . The roundels just don't look painted . Decaled on a 1:1 , no . These are too opaque . The wheels are very good replicas . The Photo-shopping is most excellent . Professional job Harry . There is no distortion through the windshield . I don't believe there is room on the 1:1 for the buldge on the Cowl for a Tach ? . This is my Opinion and I'm sticking to it . Thanx Harry ..

rmvw guy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Model. There are real car tracks on the sand, and they are way bigger. It's large scale tough, really large. I agree. Too late I already voted REAL. Large scale model, I am convinced now and no valve stems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Looks like a little bit of forced perspective in the photograph. Model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1ford48 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) very cleverly done-but its a model-the wheels and headlites give it away-and the 1/1 size tire print in the dirt--nice model though-is it 1/8? or possibly bigger- and could it be a 3D printed job?-- thats what it looks like to me Edited May 30, 2014 by f1ford48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that bulge is a cowl vent for the cockpit of this VERY HOT CAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacon Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Model -- the wire wheels are very impressive, but they don't look like quite right compared to real Cobra wired rims... bestest, M, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Final vote: 11 REAL, 31 MODEL. And the answer is... MODEL! http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2012/05/31/handsome-half-pints-colin-rules-tiny-tributes-to-the-big-healey/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I found this web site earlier and all I can say is WOW! This is one crazy model. The guy has a real way with Healey's. If you had show a photo of the engine bay, I wonder how many would have chosen "real". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
