March topic :: Diecast Model(s)
Interpret that how you will, keeping in mind that the photos must be MINI related and that only one photo per member per month may be submitted.
Special Note: all photos must have a diecast model of a MINI and/or Mini in them.
ohhh, sweet, I have 5 mini diecast, 2 classics, and 3 MINIs. this could be fun

You first Juan, we all need a competitive advantage from you if you can enter this month. (remembering a certain very cool contest entry with CR die-cast Minis in a chili pepper pot )
Thanks for posting the topic early Dave! I've got some good ideas I need to try and rig up. I hope this topic will result in more entries this month since cruddy weather isn't necessarly a factor.
For every ounce of gas saved by a Toyota Pious, a gallon is wasted by the 20 cars behind it desperately attempting to pass because the typical Pious is driven by what appears to be a stoned, nearsighted geriatric who's also lost and confused and allergic to g-forces higher than .01 just to gain an extra 2 MPG. (paraphrased)
...and plastic model kits?
Do you want to open that can of worms? This is a diorama.
Lucky again, hoping to swing getting a new camera, anything. Mmmm... I should shoot a roll of film through the old 35mm, get scanned during developing. Mmmmm.....
Naw.

Great, thanks ALOT dude, I finally "enter" a pic and now you've pretty much confirmed that I won't even get MY vote
Aw comeon! Nobody ever votes for mine, now especially Swifty is an "old school" MINI. But thanks for the vote of confidence.
How many entries so far Dave?

Sweet, Kurt's back with a new camera! Great photo BTW.
I hope to still give you a run for the money this month, but we'll just have to see. Wife's in overtime for baby delivery, but at least is comfortable and happy. I just hope the ND filters arrived so I can take the contest photo this weekend. FWIW, my die-cast Mini is a "Swifty" clone (will it help or hinder? ).

Thanks! And I had to budget for $200, so I'm happy with the results.
Wanna trade?

How did you get the "smoke" off the tires and the appearance of the front L wheel spinning? Very slick
...
The photo program (not Adobe's program) has an airbrush feature, and blur similar to a brush. I think this topic begs for photo manipulation. How much is allowed is a guess.
