What do you guys think about this one? Is it real, or illustration?

It's real... Here's another pic. another tiny tiny pic.......

What do you guys think? Is this one real, or not? Sorry for such a small pic........

I really like these wild one-off car creations.... Anyone have info as to who built this one? What is it called?

Thanks..... Well, I had a bit of bad luck with my paint. Tried to do some foiling, and some lifted..... Fortunately it's only on one panel, so I'm gonna try to touch it up the best I can.

Got the interior all done! I'm working on getting the floor pan and chassis together now.....

The '80s weren't all that terrible for some car manufacturers, I've always had a thing for the aerocoupe Thunderbirds...... If I could round up a pre-facelift 'Bird, I'd build something along these lines....

That '58 Impala isn't painted, that's all done with etching! Awesome stuff.......

I thought it looked "doctored", but that's a real photo of a car for sale on Craigslist here in NC...... Charlotte area I believe...... I'll try to find you guys another pic to guess on soon!

You guys are sharp...... I'll learn what to look for in future guesses to try and make it a challenge....... What do you think, photoshop or not?

Thank you, Guys! I got it colored and cleared today, it will look much better once I can polish it.... here's how the color combo looks... and I'm thinking of the chrome reverse rims for this... wheels are from the kit, tires are from the '60 Starliner, I believe..... Once I'm finished with the paint, I'll try to get some outside pics........

That's a pretty attractive model! I believe that I'll be able to get a decent shine out of the acrylic clear.... It's really nice to work with and dries hard enough to polish pretty quickly....

Thanks, you two........ Got some more done today, the chassis is pretty much finished, just have to decide what wheels I want to use.... and I'm testing some Krylon clear, it's called "Cover Maxx" and is an acrylic. Anyone ever use this stuff? I'm gonna wait until it cures a while, then try to polish it to see what kind of shine it has.... Thanks for looking! and comment freely........

I've been working on a Pro Modeler release of the '58 Corvette. I'm kinda going with a mild custom theme, as I'm taking liberties with the color scheme and maybe using some custom wheels. So far there's been progress on the interior...... and the engine and chassis. I decided to use the fuelie parts..... Color will be the same as the Starliner I finished earlier this year. I'm hoping for a pleasant contrast between the Dark Garnet and the red interior........ Thanks! and all comments are welcome

What about decals that are completely dried out? I have a sheet I would like to use, but the sheet is no longer even "tacky" feeling... almost like just a photocopy of the sheet. Would the SuperFilm restore these?

I believe that Krylon paints have a "window" where you can recoat. Something like within 12 hours and after a few days....

Yea, i kinda figured you guys would get that one pretty easily....... It's a concept drawing of an "F80". Hopefully this next one will be a bit more difficult......

DPNM (Jim) is a really good guy to trade with! and Lots of nice conversation with him, also........ Real nice guy.....

I've realized that I'm not going to be able to find pics on my own of suitable guesses for this game, so I propose a new rule...... After a week of the last posted pic being revealed as real or not, the topic is open to anyone who has a pic for the game. That takes stress off of just one person having to hunt down a proper picture, and will keep this topic/game moving....... What do you guys think, sound good? Meanwhile, here's a pic to guess on, real or 'shopped?

You guys that guessed real are correct........ It was built to be made to look like it is backward! I'll post up another pic as soon as I find a suitable one.......

I won't be adding a pic on any set schedule, I'll probably just post guesses as I run across them..... So, which is the below pic, real or 'shopped?

You guys got it..... it's a real car. Is it okay with you guys to just add to this thread instead of starting a new one for every game? It will be easier to keep track of.... I'll try to put more guesses up in the near future!

I thought that there maybe could be a new game, guessing if pics are of actual vehicles or a rendering of sorts done with photoshop. You wouldn't need to PM me with your guesses, just reply below with which you think it is..... this makes it more open to discussion. So, which is the below pic, real or 'shopped? Please don't PM me, just reply below.......

What if someone could run a "Real or Photoshopped" quiz? That may be easier than trying to find pics for a RoM every week........ just a thought.
