Tony Cipponeri Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I know that this has been on the forum before, but there is more here and a picture of the guy.

T120 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 ...Really an amazing talent.I called my wife to the computer and as soon as she saw the models and scenes,the wheels started turning - she likes the size of the cars and suggested it might be worthwhile, "downsizing" Not gonna happen - The garage of course is full and her car is parked outside.

BobT-47P15 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Real neat work there. My guess is most of the cars are boughten like from Franklin Mint and those type places - judging by the chrome work on them. Probably either 1:24th or 1:25th scale. There might be some model kits in there as well....but not very many. The buildings and signs are very realistic......look like the real McCoy if you don't know they are scale stuff. I wonder how he did that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Stuff is great especially the outdoor shots. A few years ago when I was dabbling in HO scale railroad stuff, I got into weathering and aging equipment and buildings. Doing I guess what might be construed a applying a faux patina. The only problem I see with all these pictures is that everything looks like at came out of the detail shop and the greasy spoon has no grease. (Health inspector might find some but I couldn't. I think the pics would be better with a little more lived with look. Even the trash looks too new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenbomb Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 greg g: Funny what each person thinks when viewing the same thing- I was thinking wouldn't it be kinda neat to go to a place full of old cars and they would all be in mint condition like that.
