Real or Model #212 FINISHED!

[ricky12]

WOW is all I will say

[wisdonm]

The beautiful handcrafted cars are priced at $9,500 each – roughly the same amount of money that one would have to pay for a complete restoration of the original car.

Not that I'm bitter about my incorrect guess, but

Who works for $3.17 an hour including materials ??

Who works for $3.17 an hour plus materials ??

Yeah, that has to be a typo.

[Foxer]

It was way too shiny to be real. Only us model fanatics rub paint out that much!

3,000 hours for the whole process (scanning, molding, etc)? Or to build each one? That would mean 1 1/2 years of 8 hour days.

Oh, where were they made? $3 an hour is big bucks someplace!

Hmmmm.. this did not come out as I had planned . I typed it up as I was falling off the cliff . Diagonally across the page descending both line by line with the first two letters Capitalized and the last two lower case . "Best laid plans of Mice and Men are oft lead astray"

Harry did post a picture of a real car that was used to MAKE the model....Here are the source places for the real car and the same image as Harry used as I have been in touch with Harry and he said post it.

So what you are saying is the photo is the REAL car, not the model. That's the conclusion I get from looking at your links.

Yup, nowhere on the model page does it actually say that the photos are of the models.

woot I was 1 of 7 people to get the correct answer!

Like they say, "Even a blind squirrel gets finds a nut on occasion".

[horsepower]

So, the best I can tell from looking at the links is that they made models of the REAL car, but the picture shown is of a real car that was used to make a MODEL from, so if I'm not losing the remaining marble, those that said real are correct as the picture is of the real car, not the model? I think that the "article" got Harry this time
