Re: Unbelievable models and Photography
The only negative comment I can suggest is that it's all so clean. As a scale modeller, one of the skills that add the final touch of reality is 'weathering'. The tires are perfectly round, showing no deflection.
But being clean, in this context, is no sin. The tires, however, are aan clear giveaway. This work far outstrips my capabilities.

Re: Unbelievable models and Photography
The sterile look is exactly what I noticed as well.
I did see some leaf litter in the gutter on one of them.
You see similar results in new movies about older periods. People simply didn't keep their cars that clean back then.
The only other thing I'd add is that a lack of animate objects makes it all look somewhat surreal.

I am not a modeler, but it would seem difficult to find dirt and or dust that would have a small enough particle size to be even close to scale? As a side note my older brother was really into model building when I was young and it fascinated me how good he was. Or maybe it was just how bad I was compared to him. I am a complete left brain thinker and have "0" artistic talant. Have trouble with stick figures.

vacuum cleaner bag dust is g2g. I use it as an good way to add a patina to some of my "period" reproductions.

Just for discussion, this link is to the art/model work of a very good friend. His work amazes me.

I like how he is able to take the scale models in the foreground and lifesize landscapes in the background and blend them so it apears to be all lifesize.
