TheCat Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Again, I started to play around with my camera and decided to make a display of an Auction House... One of my favorite Auto Auctions that I love watching on HD Channel is Mecum Auto Auction. It's a bit less formal and I believe more realistic in auction pricing than Barrett-Jackson. Barrett-Jackson auction prices are way out of price to the true value of a car. I feel that Barrett-Jackson is more for the Rich folks, while Mecum is more for the general public from wealthy people to the Blue Collar folks. PLUS, Mecum is more into the Muscle Cars and American Classics and it's allot more fun watching. It also gives me really good ideas on future model builds... That's the main reason I like Mecum More. But that's my humble opinion. Here's some of the pictures that I took of my models and made them look like if they were real cars in a Mecum auction: Let me know what you think of the photos.
Haubenschild Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 My dad and i met some one who knew mr barret and mr jackson, after they died he said that his son ruined the auction

jeff ewaskey Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Hey Felix your photos look really convincing with your scenery. Really creative. I too enjoy watching the Mecum auctions as well. Much more for us down to earth, working people. Always spend Saturday nites watching after the wife falls asleep. Lol. She dosen't get it at all.

kenb Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 That's a smart idea for posting pictures. looks very real. Nice job and good thinking. Ken
Burnout Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 What a cool idea! I too enjoy watching the Mecum auctions. Maybe you could tell us how you made your backdrop? Thanks, KB
TheCat Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks Ken. I designed the back using Corel Draw. To get it close to the Mecum Auction, I created it when I was watching the Mecum Auction. Then I printed them on 3 Card Stock paper and tapes them together. The little red carpet I bought at Michael's Craft Shop.
Mister Twister Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Thats a novel idea and a great looking collection you have there!
Greg Pugh Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 That's a pretty darn cool idea in my book. Nice job!
