Scott Colmer Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 The more I look, the more I see. What an amazing model!
DynoMight Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 How long is the model? It looks amazing David. Almost like a real car!
dpride Posted November 15, 2014 Author Posted November 15, 2014 Many thanks to those who commented. I makes a good start to the day when you read positive feadback. Glen, the car is 48" long.
PatW Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Holy Moly I've just picked up on this! What a fantastic build. I've not looked at this section before, only looking here as my Citroen DS 19 was moved here without my knowing where it had gone. Superb work David and thanks for sharing the build.
dpride Posted November 17, 2014 Author Posted November 17, 2014 Thanks Patrick, and glad you recovered the Citroen .....

So no more on this forum. Here's the other car finished. I want to thank the people who bothered to take the time to comment
jbwelda Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 simply breathtaking. whats the deal with your backdrop. it looks like Bonneville sort of, but sort of not too, but doesn't look like a photo backdrop. is that posed somewhere out in Australia? looks super nice with the car in the foreground. jb
dpride Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 jb, the salt and a portion of the mountains is a photo of Bonneville from the net. The car was photographed in sunlight on white paper with baking soda for the "salt" element. I isolated the car and it's shadows from the shot and placed that element on a digitally altered background. There are about 8 pieces of sky to the 'moody' background from the net. The camera was a $75 Kodak pocket camera and the software is "Painter5" which I've used since 1998. Harry P would have a handle on this trickery.... No more 1/4 scale, I'm building 1/8 and .........what a change. Thanks for comments jb and Scott.
jbwelda Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 well that is a spectacular result on the photos as well as the car. shows what a bit of knowledge and a cheap camera will do! oh yeah and photoshop too! jb
