THEME: In 80Y 2C2's words: "Outdoor realism:
The cars have to be placed outdoors, but the shot must look as if the car were full sized, instead of a model."

I went for Longbow's because I was nitpicking and finding details in all the shots as to why they don't look realistic, and his came up trumps. 👍

Ahh, thanks. One of the most unrealistic parts of mine is the fact most snow isn't lit up with Christmas lights from within.

It was between Adam and Chris for me. I went with Speedster's because it fit the theme better.

Longbow - I have the exact same model, but in black. How did you get the door to stay open? I've tried opening the door for a shoot but it wouldn't stay closed. I had to use a toothpick to keep it open

Haha, I have exactly the opposite problem: my doors won't stay closed! They always pop open (or at least one does...), so I didn't even bother to try and close it.

In the end, I went with LongbowX's, but it was a close call with the Jeep.

Ah cheers, I'm not sure though. I think that piece of wood chip ruins mine, since Chris pointed it out to me on MSN I can't help thinking it's ruined the image. Oh and just so people know mine was taken in the rain, the waterdrops weren't on purpose

Oh and the subject of Murcielago doors, I know mine isn't a AutoArt but my Lamborghini's doors never stay up. Ever. Infact my Murcielago has a few design flaws. Such as the vents on the side of the engine open however to have them open you must have the engine bay lid open

It doesn't ruin it - just because I don't particularily like it, doesn't mean that other people can't. It might add something that I'm missing.

The AutoArt models have a little spring or something in them to keep them up I think. Mine will stay up unless forced closed (one in particular doesn't like doing that). And that is an odd design flaw - I wanted the vents to be open in my shot, but one of them wouldn't stay open (maybe due to the cold?). However now I try it and it will stay open. Strange.
