Harry P. Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Ok... after your last humiliating defeat, let's see if you can make a comeback! Real or model? The answer: REAL!
mikemodeler Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 George must be sleeping in this holiday morning! I voted real, a lot of things just added up as "real" . Have a safe Memorial Day and remember our veterans and servicemen & women today for providing us the freedom we enjoy. Mike
MrObsessive Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Besides the obvious, there is one subtle but very important detail which makes this real for me. I'll hold my cards close to the vest until polling's over though.............
MrObsessive Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I also wanted to add that I think this is the first ROM that I've seen where as soon as I saw the pic, I knew if it was real or not. No, I haven't seen the pic elsewhere, it's that subtle detail I've alluded to---------which I spotted immediately. Okay, my lips are now sealed! No more info until Friday! (maybe! )
george 53 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 It's REAL Harry! The antenna is too thin NOT to be real. But I HAVE been known to be wrong.(but NOT this time)
MrObsessive Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Oooooh don't be too sure George--------thin, realistic antennas CAN be done in scale! That wasn't the detail that tipped me off though...............hehehehe
raymanz Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I'll say real as well, saw about three things that say real. Holding my cards till friday Good one Harry
1955chevy Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Hi Harry Yoy got me last week. Good Job I think it real
Foxer Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I was had last week, but this one just has too many clues ... I got 2 big ones and some smaller... betting I got Bill's "glaring" obvious one to make it real. (borrows Mr Obsessive's tape to mask mouth)
B_rad88 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Oooooh don't be too sure George--------thin, realistic antennas CAN be done in scale! That wasn't the detail that tipped me off though...............hehehehe i am going to say real! the reflection in the bumper, the rust on the exhuast, the tyres, and not to mention the northern plush grass! is that ohio or kentucky? lol just guessing! and mr.obsessive was it the dude it the paint reflection holding the camera?
ricky12 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 IWILL SAY REAL AND HOPE IM NOT WRONG THIS WEEK ALMOST LOOKS TO EASY !!!!
vizio93 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 looks real to me. Just look at the right exhaust pipe. it definatley looks realastic
MrObsessive Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 and mr.obsessive was it the dude it the paint reflection holding the camera? Nope! Patience my friend!
mazlak Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Harry, Lots of little things say real to me. Bottom gap on door just looks a little too real to be reproduced in scale (shadows etc.). I was one of the lucky 6 last week. We'll see how I do this week. Thanks for RoM!! Rick in Richmond
Harry P. Posted May 26, 2009 Author Posted May 26, 2009 Well well well... the vote up to this point is very one-sided... Just like last week, when you were all WRONG!!! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.... (That's my "evil laugh", BTW...)
S10XtremeSR Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 looks real to me. If it's a model the builder needs to get a job in a museum
Pete J. Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Harry - Ya got me good with the last one! Great model. I got to go along with the gang again and vote real. If it is a model, the artist who built it(and I do me artist) got a lot of the small details right. Interesting that it has a current California plate. I would think a collector would have a period correct plate. Well, who knows
Joe Handley Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 I'm going with real, tires and exhaust don't quite look right to me, plus there something odd about the passenger side vent window....................
B_rad88 Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Nope! Patience my friend! did you notice the guy? in the rear quarter panel, in the reflection, you can see his legs! (or hers!) and yeah joe handley, the passenger side vent window does look funny!
Guest Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Real. Mr. Obsessive, what kit is that 56 T-bird? It is beautiful!
MrObsessive Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 did you notice the guy? in the rear quarter panel, in the reflection, you can see his legs! (or hers!) and yeah joe handley, the passenger side vent window does look funny! Nope, I didn't see the legs (don't see 'em actually )........Those that know me and what I'm a stickler for, will know the first thing I notice about a model (or real car) when I see it. That's all I can say! Real. Mr. Obsessive, what kit is that 56 T-bird? It is beautiful! Lee the T-Bird is actually a '55 I converted from Monogram's '56.........it was built about 10 years ago, and was one I've been wanting one of the little three to kit for YEARS!
Guest promodmerc Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Real. Harry must have felt bad because of last weeks ROM and made this one so easy.
