Brizio Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Nice. Cool bit of of scratchbuilding and an unusual subject. Love that it has a working camera. Thank you Bob! What's the deal with the muffler car? could we see(more of) it too? Looks like several interesting vehicles in your display area.... I got the idea of the muffler car from a real car that was used by a muffler shop in WA. There are several Muffler Car (if you google it) the one in WA was a street legal one compared to the others. Here a few pictures. The running gear are from a 50's Corvette kit. The other cars you can see on the "Selfie"... The Chevy Van - Motorcycle hauler. 1950 Cadillac "Le Monstre". In the background of the picture there is a Cuda Van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I love the Google car! It's light commercial at it's finest! When I saw you were doing this I indeed Googled "Google Car" and got all kinds of images, so your car is true to life. I had imagined that Google used unmarked units to get people acting naturally. One of the fun things I like to do is "walk" around neighborhoods, you see all kinds of interesting things! I've screen shot a few and saved them. When I was looking at my Aussie friend's neighborhood, a car full of teenagers spotted the Google car and could be seen hanging out of the windows and waving for a few blocks! Here's a few images I saved from my walks through towns... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizio Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Cool models. Nice collection of unusual subjects. where did the bike in the van come from. Thank you Bob! The bike is a Heller 1/24 kit, it came also with figure. You are blowing me away with all of these Caddie reminds me of the Bugatti tank Le Mans car and I love the dog pictures...I sneak my Berner in as much as possible too oops there she is again Beautiful dog!!! You should take picture of it with your models. I love the Google car! It's light commercial at it's finest!

Here's a few images I saved from my walks through towns... Thank you Tom! There are a lot of "strange" picture captured by the Google car... When it passed last year in front of my house, I ran out, but I guess they take picture only from the front of the car, because you don't see me... I saw also the Bing car, I think was a metallic red Toyota Rav, with a sticker on the door that say Bing. I check the bing map site but, first they ask you to download a software, for look a the map, so I did but it doesn't work. That day I was working on the C-10. One day on the road I saw a Silverado with a kind of Google camera on the bed, but I couldn't understand what was the name on the door. Thanks for the additional pics...." muffler bearings" eh? I thought that might be the LeMans Cadillac. very nice models.... You are welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
