fantastic pics Mike, and yes nice model too
Thanks ! Rextoys were quite inexpensive replicas but they look and display well.
@michaeldetorrice Great pictures Mike and I agree that the Rextoys 1935 Ford makes a nice model. I have a Rextoys 1935 Ford coupe that I repainted and made into a streetrod.
Your backgrounds, Mike, change the mood of each photo. Grand car and excellent photos!
That is a great-looking Ford street rod ! Rextoy did a fine job on their 1/43 replica of the '35 and it certainly was an affordable diecast model.
Nice work, as usual, Mike. Have you ever considered making a calendar or publishing a book of your photos? I'd buy one.

@david-vandermeer I agree David. I especially like picture number three with the car and the bridge.
Lol, thank you, John. You are giving me much more credit than I deserve ! One of the books to get is the late Michael Paul Smith's astounding "Elgin Park - An Ideal American Town" filled with special effects photographs he created with 1/24 scale automobiles.
Mike, my favorite photos in this group are 3, 4, 6 and 9 because you have created what I'm calling a peripheral view of the model where it's not necessarily the primary focus of the picture. I can't think of anyone else that does that. I know I've asked you before, but I'm aching to know how you created the shadow beneath the car. At first I thought it might be easy enough to create a parallogram underneath the vehicle, but here you've made shadows that follow the contours of the bumpers, and that blows me away. I must know your secret!
Loved these great Rextoy Fords. Did some variations here
And then there is this Team Caliber dirt track race version with opening hood.
