Burkitt Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Beautiful modelling, but a bit chocolate box, or whatever the suburban American equivalent is - everything is very shiny and unweathered. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted February 5, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 5, 2010 Beautiful modelling and photography. Only two things 'wrong' that stand out to me: the lack of people, and the rather clean look to most of the models... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.A.C Martin Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 In fairness, I do think most of those cars would have been kept quite shiny - stunning pics, whatever our opinion on the weathering, he captures the 50s looks very well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taybridge Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 In fairness, I do think most of those cars would have been kept quite shiny - stunning pics, whatever our opinion on the weathering, he captures the 50s looks very well! Indeed - I think that modellers often over-do the weathering... not everything was grimy in the past, and to a certain extent merely reflected the prevailing weather. I think we like heavy weathering as it adds a certain attitude of 'power' to a locomotive... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckjumper Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Some astonishing modelling there, Martin, in both sets of links. It's interesting to compare Michael's cars with these photos from the 40s, 50s and 60s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted February 5, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 5, 2010 With regards weathering, I was thinking more of the buildings than the cars, as I agree that they represent the 'lovingly looked after' look. I've seen the other link that Martin just gave above before, and that is some very good, very realistic looking modelling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penlan Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I seem to recall in the 50's, Dad cut the lawn and washed and polished the car whilst Mum cooked Sunday dinner, it was a 'must do' chore on Sundays. Cars were something to be a proud owner of in those days, and if you didn't own it (e.g. a rep's car) part of your employment agreement was to keep the car nice and clean. Great sites Martin, thanks for bringing them to our attention (BTW - there was a line under most kerbs in the first set you pointed us to).
