raisin27 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Recently finished this one. Don Nicholson was my favorite driver from the early days of pro stock racing. Heres a replica of his 1972 ride. It was built from an old JoHan glue bomb, with an engine bay grafted from a newer issue Monogram Mustang and Slixx decals. Thanks for looking, Raisin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomordie Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Are you sure that's a model? You could post that in a classified and no one would know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raisin27 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Thanks everyone, A couple of you mentioned the pictures, that got me wondering............Do any of you pick up things when looking at a pic of your models that isnt apparent when you see the model in person? As an example of what Im trying to say, in the pictures of my Maverick I noticed that the rims looked a bit to bright. I never noticed it on the actual model until after I saw it on the pics. I have since gone back and toned them down a bit. I dont know if it goes for others but I always seem to notice something in the pics that I end up going back to correct.

JayMesawitz Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Do any of you pick up things when looking at a pic of your models that isnt apparent when you see the model in person? Yes, the first time that I thought I would try presenting a project on a web forum in the 'work in progress' section I found various things show up in pictures that never caught my eye. This was really not too long ago but I now have a habit of taking 4 or 5 pics after each model session. Not just the finished product. No special background or anything just some shots on my digital at a mid to high resolution. Then I store them on the computer in a folder relating to the project. It may sound like more work that it is worth but with 40 something eyes failing me more & more it is really an easy way to spot problems others may have no problem picking up on. While at first blush I would attribute the percieved advantage to clatity/resolution/zoom I rather believe it is simply a change in perspective that allows for the sight of previously unnoticed details (right or wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbush Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 That is an outstanding model! Yes, I have actually changed my mind about posting pictures because of seeing my mistakes. Sometimes, a model looks better in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
