Not sure where to put this...just a silly "survey" for myself. Which of these 5 models would you pick to be first place if you were a judge at a contest?  Yes, one is mine...be honest, it doesn't matter...just which one is your favorite? I'm curious...😁

I honestly think the '30 coupe is the best model for a variety of technical reasons, with the open-topped Ardun-powered T and the derelict Mopar tied for second.

The big Mopar and the tall T have a lot of, call it 'emotional' appeal.

I really like that T-bucket and the’30 coupe. I would have to give it to the ‘30 coupe though, as it is more detailed…ie: brake lines etc.

Tough call as they all have certain qualities that I like but gonna go with the last one. The detailed engine really grabbed me and some other details I can see I like.

I would be the worst judge as I think everything is awesome. Judging has a set of parameters, often not fully clear, are supposedly subjective, but are not, and its often who you know or your reputation that helps place you and individual subject biases.

If you put a gun to my head, I would go with the grey '30 Ford as the best of those.

Probably the '30 Ford. It's an extremely clean build. As much as I like the Chrysler 300 overall, it has some foiling issues that work against it. This might be intentional for the junkyard look but it doesn't come across that way in the pic. The "tall T" is cool, but not quite at the level of the other two. Not feeling the '34(?) pickup or the '37 Ford, though.

I like the junkyard Chrysler. I see all the work that went into the interior and engine bay. IMO it took a lot of skill to pull that off.

Ditto first comment, but the other way around, anything that is patina gets my attention, and it's not even a rally car after a stage.  The base needs attention, when you have the materials and an idea, it can save an awful kit.   I see everyone else likes the last one, and you never see one at a model contest, ever.  🙄

My personal process of elimination. 

#1 is well done. Lots of detail work most people won't see. I love it.
#2 is nice but nothing that catches my eye
#3 is very nice but the trim paint isn't smooth and doesn't accent well. Nitpicking yes.
#4 is really cool, love the little extras, but my eyes keep focusing on the front tires with flash, and the one coming off the wheel.
#5 is my pick for best build. Its well put together. The aluminum looks realistic, and there are nice extras. The glass looks clean & clear. Just a nice build.
