To start with I thought I would go with one of my favs. The Ford MKIV by Mike Burda of Empty Shells fame.

What is the prefered picture size? I will add more later.

Those are nice pictures of a real sano body, 22Tall. As to photo size, the 640 by 480 pixels that you used is pretty good. You can see the details clearly. You can go up a couple of sizes without making it too large for average monitors.

Russ the Hutt :drunk::hat::freak::dude::tongue:

Sweet!

I would go up 1 or 2 sizes larger... Just remember, the bigger you go, as I've found out so many times on my own cars, the more flaws you can see. (there are usually many on mine!!) Nice Ford, by the way!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nice to see one of Mike's bodies!......He did excellent modeling.... Too bad the way things went down for him. :cry::cry: I have a couple of his '40 Ford deliveries. One's finished & the other is still hanging in the rafters waiting for something. I should have got more when I had the chance, which is why NOW when I see something out of the mainstream I buy it & hang it up till I can get to it! Too many nice castings that are here one day & then gone before you get them.

......Nice palm trees too!

Here is the MKII. I guess it's a Boye. One size larger.

The detail on the resin is much better it just doesn't photo well. I think I met Mike at a slot car show back in '97. I remember he had a Mercedes with a dog in the back seat.

Jason Boye is one heck of a modeler too!!!!...............AND one heck of a racer as well. I was part of the team USA in 1996 for the 24 hour race in England. Jason ran outstanding fast laps for hours on end! What really made that remarkable was that all of the teams non only built and used cars from a box of stuff provided by the race promoters, but we all used plastic yellow "Set" controllers too! Hate to have to race him on his home track!
Do you have any other bodies to show us from Mike or Jason?
Great favorites and very nice work.:thumbsup:

That MKII is beautiful. I'm jealous.

:thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

sweet stuff!!!!!

This is the last of the three Burda/Boye cars I have. The porsche 550. The other one is a car I got off the bay.

Next time something completely different.

Both of the Porsches look pretty sweet but the Boyd has that little extra low slung look that pushes it into first place. Not that the second place car has anything to be ashamed of.

Nice cars.....nice thread......thanks for sharing
Nothing negative about the regular trees, but I like the palm trees better!......l00ks more exotic!

Hey!! I bought them trees!!!! And ended up with "enlargement" spam for over a year now!!! LOL!! Nice porsches 22!!! Load 'em up and post'em up!!! Love it!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

A few months ago a guy had the GT40, MKII, MKIV, 550 and Daytona coupe on the bay. Would have had the GT40 and Daytona but a little old lady rear ended me at McDonalds. Took out her grill and a headlight on her car and not even a scuff on mine.

Here is something different. Proto killbot.

Head won't stay down and the arms fall off. Yup. Definately a proto.
Here's some micro machines and the palms are back by popular demand.

22Tall,

With your last two posts, you have crossed the line into dangerous display of slot car goodness. In order to keep myself and my fellow HT members safe, I must insist that you add the following warning at the top of any new posts of similar awesomeness:

ATTENTION!

You don't want to wait until you hear from the Surgeon General and the Under Writer's Labs, man. Cause they'll come down on you like a ton of bricks man. I'm just saying...

As long as people people keep looking I will keep adding. Here are some Atlas cars

Funny how things changed after the first few years of slots. The focus went from rolling model RR scenery to racing in a very short time span. I kind of wish at least one of them stayed focused on regular street vehicles instead of all jumping on the race car band wagon. I think Atlas made some fairly well designed bodies, and had they put a little more effort in the details they would have had some real winners. :thumbsup: Bachmann made some silly lookin' cars!! :lol: :tongue:

This morning some Eldons

Thanks for the pics. Most interesting so far to me is the Eldon/Aurora Dino comparison.

It looks like Aliens are into slot cars too! Thanks for posting the cool pics of rare cars, 22Tall! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

These are cool!!! Like the Rolls!!! I'm going to have to look for one of them! The Eldon/ Aurora comparison was pretty cool too!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I will do other comparison photos in the future. I saw hank was selling a proto of the Tyco Alien Eliminator ship.

I like them MEVs!!! I was supposed to get a bunch of them this year but too many other things got shoved up ahead on the priority list. So far on my check list you're winning hands down!! LOL I have 1 MEV, 0 Atlas, matchbox, eldon, marx, AL, bachmann or test shots.. Since I don't get to shows, and a good chunk of the stuff listed on the bay has lousy pics, I'm happy to check out your stuff. It gives me a way better look at cars and makes my shopping for stuff way easier. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Since you liked those here are some more

Cudo's to MEV, being the only one I know of who makes wagons (the nomad being the one exception) and regular old timey street cars. I'm happy he's moving his way up through the mid 60's and into the early 70's with them... The latest catalina and deville are nice looking bodies. I think MEV would sell alot more cars if he'd upgrade his website and get better pictures of his cars. Thanks for sharing 22!! If those were mine I'd have to dip into that case of chassis and get them running!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I think the price also scares people away. I usually wait until he has 20 bodies I want to get the bulk price. $25 is much less painful than $44. Here are some more

That was the game plan. but I got carried away buying other stuff and messed up my chance to jump in with 2 others who split an order.. Maybe next year.... I like them wagons.. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Yeah, that is the first time I have seen MEV's from a good angle and a better quality pic. Thanks

22Tall, those are some great pictures of sweet cars but I get goose bumps thinking what all them aliens use those probes for...

That's a nice pair of Horrorclix Sorority Zombies. 22Tall, you need to visit Bob Zilla and SlotCarMan! You guys share the same interest in track side figures.

Russ the Hutt :drunk::hat::freak::dude::tongue:

resinmonger is correct on the ID. I love zombies and clix so it's a win win. I got an 18X18X18 inch box of clix off the bay a few months ago. Think it was 30 or 40 bucks total and had 1,466 pieces in it. Almost made that the contest but I wanted a real winner instead of a closest to winner.

Me likes the sorority babes!!!! I got a couple hobbling around here somewhere.. pity their foot's fallin off.. :lol: Love those MEVS!!! Especially the Pontiacs and the wagons!!! Next year I hope I can swing some!!! And the chassis to mount them on too!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

22, Im loving your protos!

The killdroid is WAY cool. Ive always loved the racing warriors and every set based on them.

And that UFO is rad too. I like your Horrorclix aliens, I have one of those too have to grab a few more of those anal probing dudes. I had the idea a while back for how cool an Area 51 themed set with a UFO that would abduct cars would be. I was thinking maybe the dodge van all muraled up would be cool as well as an MP Jeep. Wonder what set and cars were supposed to be with that one? I guess it never came to fruitition, huh?
