I really dig looking at those. I used to have the same level of anal-ness for realism back when I was building model cars in grade school and jr high. I used to build dioramas like mechanic shop garages with work benches, tools, etc... to display them. Had a couple offroad models in dirt dioramas.

Thanks guys!!
The pickup took me about 4 to 5 months including searching for parts and build time. The bug was done in aprox 2 months. I really try to get as much as scale realism as possible. My background was static models too but this side of the hobby lets me create functional models!
The pickup even has dash lightning...

the realism is stagering! with the right lens and proper lighting, you would give anyone a run for their money on the scale of those vehicles. Pics look great as is but i would seriously invest in a DSLR and a 70-200mm lens kit.
I personally have a Nikon D40 with a few lenses and it simply is a great investment. Incredibly easy to take pics....
props to you! | |

Please no more I have enough money eating hobby's as it is..That is just crazy real you need to get them in a Disney movie or something. I was sold on just the truck then you had to show it to me pulling the buggy on a tandem axle trailer. Awesome talent man I am really blown away.
