Like vintage cars?

Postby dubtrub » Tue Feb 02, 2010 2:40 pm

A friend of mine sent this slide show to me and it just blows me away. About half way through viewing them I realized these are not real cars, these are models. Click on the link then click on 'slide show' located just aboe the images to see them full size and living color. Amazing!

Thanks, Danny. That fellow has a genuine talent for making miniature sets and lighting them correctly.

I shared your post with my graphic designers and creative director tonight and there are emails about his work bouncing around now from our staff.

Very cool, indeed.
