They're very polarizing to me - when they work they're amazing but sometimes they don't to me.

I don't like the wheels purely how they look in isolation, but paired with the right car they look the tits.

Was that meant to be put into those things you hold up to your eyes and press the shutter to rotate the slide shown? Kinda neat.

No, it was a film format that afforded very slim (for the time) cameras.

You're thinking of a viewmaster.

Looking at it again, it is a negative film so what I was thinking made no sense in the first place

Source and a ton more pictures of other models: http://www.speedhunters.com/2015/05/car-modeling-on-another-level/

That is fantastic.
Most of those cars are amazing. I never got quite to that level. Not sure I'll ever even get back to modeling. I certainly still have plenty to build - most of them would be probably considered vintage kits now. '80s-'90s kits, cars and mecha. I'm actually afraid to build my Mach V, now, since it's OOP, though has been reissued under a different manufacturer's name.

Also, now I want a Viper V-10 Gremmie.



Huh. Never wanted a Pacer before....

Occassionally, a DeLorean Parks at the rear end end of my companies parking lot, next to an imported truck that never moves. The DeLorean looks as though it rolled fresh out of the factory, it's really cool. Intriguing: there is a science looking box mounted on the dash, with a cable disappearing somewhere inside. Really want to peek inside to see what it is, but never caught it when I wasn't in a rush :(
