Exquisite.
The bodywork damage is very effective with the rusting holes in the panels. How did you do the broken windows? Are they actually glass slides or some other method?

Absolutely stunning stuff.

There's a trick getting the bashed panels and holes looking authentic, the metal is up to 2mm think, so it's best to grind the back of the panels until they're paper thin, then the holes & dents are thin and have thin edges which is convincing.
The windows are the original plastic fitted to the cars, this is marked with a scriber for open or half open, taken out and cut with a jewellers saw, the cracks are just scribed on.
Yep Brian, I'm a vandal,
but I'm told that these cars are now worth a lot more in this state

There's an aditional effect to Photoshop called smell Geoff, I hope I got the right amount of smoke, steam and hot oil

PS. After spending the last five years on pure modelling, yesterday I decided to get some loco's running...the track needed serious cleaning (still not all done!) The loco's barely run on a rolling road, they had to be stripped and cleaned/oiled, not a nice task with DCC fitted and all those wires, they now move good, but another problem is point motor switches (frogs) as these also need attention

Wow, I've only just spotted this thread and I have too say the modelling is absolutely superb, the attention to the fine detail is amazing. Also some cracking photography, it's a pity about the earlier photobucket pictures.
I also like the guitar playing, I'm off to see the Eagles in Brum next Friday.
