For anyone wondering if it is safe to use the link, and what it goes to...

It's for Michael Paul Smith's amazing photos! If you haven't seen it, you will be astonished.

Yep, seen that before. Amazing, but it suffers from the exact same problem that most all recreations suffer from...... they're too good, too shiny. Last I looked, there were no 100 point cars on the street, they're dirty, they've got scratches, primer patches, broken tail-light lenses, soccer club bumper stickers, dealership stickers in the back window etc, etc. I may be a bit pedantic, but I'd rather see a diorama with some rubbish on the footpath (sidewalk) or a car with a fender-bender.....

Where is this city located? Please don't tell me it's in Mr. Smiths basement.

It looks like he is in the upstairs of a home with it not a basement but if you are implying it should be on display publicly,, I agree..
I don't see any 100 point cars on the street in his town or mine, only at shows.. The guy is an artist for sure,, wish he had done my Merc Convertible... Maybe he will sometime.

Bassman,
Here are some old car and truck models made by Martin Heukeshoven, that
are Not too shiney, but are rusted, dented, recreations of old crusty relics.

Rust is Gold, god bless you.

I can ID the Porche Spyder (I think) but who made those other beauties..?

Martin Heukeshoven is from Germany, but I don't know what vehicles his recreations are from.

Search his name on Google, and you can find more of his old car model builds.
