Recent acquisitions & restoration projects.....

This is NOT meant to be a criticism, because there is nothing there that deserves criticism. On that note, the shot of the parts appear to have the usual dimensions of the classic "bobber" while the finish shots appear to be foreshortened. Nice work, whatever the case.

+1 for what Rich said.

OPINION:
I believe the 'aspect ratio' got changed during the preparation of images #2 & #3 for presentation on MTJ, (most likely unintentional)(?).

Some(/most) image editing programs have settings to correct this.

Martin: Thank you for sharing!

Nice work, whatever the case.

Waiting for the answer from Rufus.

Purely optical illusion from angle of camera set-up in my shop. I take as big a photo as possible and crop away the non-subject matter keeping ratios locked. All taken in roughly the same location in my shop under the same light however as surface coloration changes, I have to also adjust lighting settings.

Look at the parts shot, and compare the width of the cupola to the space between the windows on the sides.... then make the same comparison while looking at the completed model shots. There's no foreshortening.

Nice work, whatever the case.

Ditto!

Another one done.......ok, done as far as I'm going to bother with this one as I'm not keeping it.

Starting point:

Had a body shell and a nice styrene/ABS cupola but nothing else.









End point:

That is a fine example of model building. You have the touch.

Thanks. Now that this one is set aside in search of a new home, I'm off to the next in the queue.

Something I picked up yesterday......2 old names on a package of scribed siding.

Gorgeous work, Rufus!!
PM me on a price if it’s not sold already.

Unusual model...and your economy of words suggests you know nothing about it I presume. A Strasburg acquisition?

Not Strasburg - estate item. Was not altogether sure what it was at the time other than it seemed "interesting". Not sure what I'll do with it,

All stamped sheet aluminum with Scalecraft trucks with parts bolted on in places and I guess slots & tabs elsewhere...

Started with the 2 roof sections, end blocks, and floor from an A-N kit.....rest is scratch & parts from the bins.

I really like the Fox trucks.
