A new way of taking pictures of models. Their best attributes! What to you think? LOL PIC
With all the talk of under carriage details I thought it would be fitting to take a picture of my newest arrivals with their BEST attributes featured! Here we go ....... ROTFLMAO :)) And for the record while I do like chassis detail I can honestly say "There never was a chassis I liked" By LIKED I mean that I thought looked nice! hee hee

Umm, I don't know Phil. I think the top of the 35 Ford is just a wee bit pertier than the undercarriage. LOl.

I love undercarriage details......................
I don't see what is the point. I don't display my models upside/down for that reason. NOBODY does.
For some of us who appreciate these details, it is related to our background and training. We may be engineers and designers who have to understand and improve on a daily basis how things work and become more reliable for the benefit of the consumers and the markets we contribute for the better.
For some of the other guys, they simply don't care and the features on a model are worthless. They care only for the function of every product or service they buy. It is also fine at a market standpoint.
I can understand the opinions and I have respect for all of them. Again, it doesn't mean that the more technically inclined collectors are over the board and the comments I shared in the past about why I love my models "detailed" also deserve respect without turning them to ridiculous.
As an analogy, some mind to understand why an airplane flies and others will just sit in and don't care.
