Thanks David . . . and that was my intention, to create a very '50's feel . . .

Thanks David . . . The Moebius Hudson models are really good, and I have enjoyed building two of these kits so far. As you noticed, I have used various filters and adjustments to enhance my original photographs. I would say an old newspaper print is precisely the kind of feel that I am trying to achieve.

I did professional wedding photography as a side business before I retired, yourself and a couple others always have interesting photography when you post your builds. I really enjoy seeing stuff that's different.

I think it is so important to photograph a scale model car within a diorama type of scenario, rather than just a plain background, and furthermore I take some pride if I manage to achieve a degree of realism that makes the viewer wonder . . . is this a real car, or is it a model car?

"is this a real car, or is it a model car" ...That was the first thought I had when I saw your build as though it were in a basement of other storage building.

Must say. You've achieved the feel and look you were seeking. Very realistic. Nice artistic touch.

Thanks a lot Rattlecan Dan . . . I hope my photos do the Hudson justice. Such an iconic motor car.

I feel there are so many great old American auto companies that are somewhat forgotten.

A couple of company names that spring to mind are Mercury and Packard . . . Also Cord and Pierce Arrow maybe . . .

You will see from the following photograph that the Hudson is moving from one side of the basement garage to a second bay . . .

The bay to the right hand side has it's own lighting, so there is no natural daylight here.

Who is this guy in the suit and hat ? . . . What is he doing ?

Something would suggest that he is up to no good . . .
