I voted real..................besides the water on the windshield, the glass itself is too optically clear for most models that are sold. Unless the guy who built it is really good and used acetate. :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: Hey Harry,

I voted model on this one.I know about the rain and the reflection on the door.

I think Harry is having with us on this one.Also,the guy in the background is there to fool us

I THINK?????????

I'll go with model. If the guy in the background was standing right beside the car, he'd be in scale, but I think he's further back, which would make him a giant if the car were 1:1.

Whatever I think is usually wrong. Whatever I put down is usually wrong. So if I put the wrong answer down will it be be right? Oh heck. Model?

Man that is a good one. I don't remember seeing this one. Wow. The guy in the background seams out of scale and the foreground is shiny which makes it look like a model, but look at the water on the window and the distortion free glass...... aaaahhhhhhh! ;)

For sure, this is real. There's a guy in the background.

It's very easy to put a guy in the background.

Not saying I did that, but it's very easy... ;)

Harry,

The photoshop job looks pretty good. Maybe there should be a disclaimer about the backgrounds and such being changed so as to not give it away (I know there is one somewhere, as I read it, but apparently it isn't obvious enough.) Now I just need to learn how to make the reflection like you and my photoshopped pictures would look much better!

I still don't know if it's real or model, though!

Fake, Its all about angles.. I agree there are parts, specifically the passenger side windows that look way too glossy, but im sure there are things you can do to get that affect. I looked at a few parts.. one the rain on the windshield would be easy to get a spray bottle to give that affect, i mean especially if you are goin for realism. Then i look at the surface the model is on... first of all... its incredibly shinny in front to reflect the model.. but further back it looks almost like sandpaper... Then I look at the tent in the back right.. the furthest back peg is on the ground.. which if this were real would suggest that the front pegs were overlapping on the supposed concrete.. which just doesnt seem like a situation youd need a tent for... I think the table was angled with some sort of make shift surface..... i know... maybe not the most intelligent reply.. but thats just my first take on things...

Also look in the back right... you can kinda see a surface change just before the gas tank, or the red container, whatever it may be.. then think of scale.. now if you bring it up next to the car, similar to the man, it seems like itd be way too huge.

I always seem to wind up in the underdog pack....at first glance it looked like a model to me, and after study, it looked real. When in doubt, go with that first intuition, model it is!
