Model car photography by Michael Paul Smith

Not sure if this is the right place, but as it's close to model railroading (and there are some train cars too) I think it's not too off topic.

Model car photography by Michael Paul Smith - very impressive:

That guy is doing amazing things. And I thought modelling in gmax was hard...

It's also hard to choose which car is the ugliest! The1958 Packard Hawk gets my vote.

This guy sure does some amazing stuff! I love all the old cars, I don't think any of them are ugly.

The first person to inevitably cross my mind when seeing these pictures was of course you Deane!
(Okay, there are some more fine car builders in Trainz: kree8tivit, jayholland, Lothar Hake, arraial... thanks to all of them at this point)

The technique to use the real world as a backdrop is nothing new of course, but I haven't seen anything that perfect before.

I agree, the Packard Hawk (along with the Studebaker Golden Hawk) was no beauty, whereas the basic 4th generation Studebaker Champion was looking much better in my opinion.
But I like the predecessor 3rd generation Champions, especially the two door cars with wraparound rear window http://www.flickr.com/photos/24796741@N05/3683986479/

The Edsel http://www.flickr.com/photos/24796741@N05/4236848113/ is no beauty either if you ask me.
