PMC Match 2 and 2.0 Match 1 will be a little tricky - looking forward to what you guys produce.
As for me it's back to the Nurburgring again - Round 1,2 & 3 :lol: Not that I'm complaining ;)
Best of luck everyone. 👍
 
I really like the theme 👍 I will have lots of fun with this - if I only have the time.

Good luck SlipZ and good luck all of you :)
 
Can someone explain PMC match 2 theme ?
My english is not that good I guess because i'm struggling to get the theme.

It's like a David vs Goliath type thing. Everyday cars vs supercars etc
 
So, if I use three cars, one of them should be an ordinary car and the other two should be supercars and the other way around ?

One car should be the smaller class and all the others the bigger class.
 
My theme based from my previous set! :D Thank Celestia I didn't delete the replay!

Good luck, Nathan! :cheers:
 
Entry submitted!

It was fun as expected to experiment with this feature. I believe I will try to use it again in the future. In the end I ended up doing something I've tried before though - hopefully my entry will be good enough to compete with SlipZ's superpowers :cheers:

Thanks, I'm going to need it - you've had practise for this one. ;)
Had one photo session and pretty much came up with nothing good, I'll have one more chance at it and hopefully just enough time to edit before the deadline. :scared:
All the best Justin.
 
Entry sent. Good luck to Boabdulrahman 👍. The theme is quite hard to interpert since it only allows road cars.
 
Entry is sent - to say I struggled with this one would be an understatement.
Not withstanding a migraine I've be suffering with the past few days I just couldn't take a shot I was happy with and it's not the car - I have a new found respect for the 'different' Skyline, it's a great car.
I feel I shall be slaughtered this time. :scared:
Once again, good luck everyone. 👍

Pffft, I'm expecting you to run away with this one Zam :)

I again only had a short amount of time to get my entry done: I had some very unfortunate family events this week that required practically all my free time. I sent a PM to Nick last night before passing out saying as much, but was able to fit in a shoot and edit in about 40min this morning. Didn't want to delay things yet again!

I played it safe (as safe as this theme could allow), so I'm not liking my chances considering Zam's awesome run so far. Come on, poll! :cheers:
