It's a busy scene at Twirly's Soft-Serve Drive-In near Washington National Airport some warm summer night in July of 1952. Everybody brings their latest sleek, streamlined vehicle. Everybody.

OK, I am from the National Enquirer and I want to know......how did you do the headlight and tail lights.  It's a terrific job.

Brooklin made such a wonderful '52 Chrysler Imperial and I sure agree that 2 tone green is really a nice color combo.

Thanks, John. Perhaps 1/43 Twirly's is a Virginia establishment, although in any case, it's known throughout the galaxy for great soft-serve treats.

LOL, thanks. It's just photoshop tweaks and adjustments. Headlights/tail lights are just given a bit of color and then brightened/enhanced with a "Dodging" tool.

The green arrows show the areas that are basically simply brightened in PS. The blue arrows are actually real lights on the set and the red arrows point to items/effects created completely in the computer software.

@mikedetorriceThanks for that explanation and the graphic illustration of which effects were used and where.  Neat.
