Other adjustments and effects are not allowed to be used in your picture. You may also use Unsharp Mask.

-Photographs must not be a 'snapshot' but must include some composition and effect - Base the photo on a studio shoot, or even use diorama/composition to create a realistic setting (you could position the model and camera in such a way in an outside setting so that it appears to be a 'real' car)

-Picture sizes - Must be no longer than 400px on the longest edge for the thumbnail image, (linked) full sized images must be no longer than 900px on the longest edge

Is a plastic (unfinished) model allowed?
 
You can use any type model you wish. Even an unfinished one is fine.

Great! Because I really have no other model to take pictures of. All the engines arent really detailed enough. 👎
 
Mm. I wanted to close this tonight, but I don't think I can...I'm just finishing up my entry now. I'll close this tomorrow. Sorry everyone.
 
Double post, I know. But I wanted to ask something. This is one of those cases where even I'm not sure about the rules. Granted, I didn't come up with them but I felt I should ask what everyone thinks about this.

I really want to have a border for my shot. I think in the past I've allowed borders, but I wanted to ask you guys if I should add border-allowance to the rules. It's not there currently, and I wanted your thoughts.

I think that borders are fine, I think people have used them in Automotive Comp before anyway so I think you'll be fine. 👍
 
Well, I put something together really quick. But, I don't have a fancy camera, so the simple Sony Cybershot point-and-shoot would have to do. So the focus is a bit off.

Final Entry

I really need to get some more models. This yellow Wix GT-40 is seriously the only good one I have! I don't even think there was ever a Wix GT40 in real life!
