Very Nice! I've been staring at this for a while trying to figure out how you got the tires to give the illusion of compression under the weight of the vehicle. They look so real and soooo perfect. Did he shave them? Did he melt them? What's the trick? :shock:

FOAM!!! I don't know if you used the roll of foam just for this reason or if it was just a nice neutral color backdrop you had nearby.

It's a great effect either way! :D

The Stryker's not so bad either... :wink:

foam, and it is great for packing too,it is funny how human eye see things ,after all it was foam not tires which compress,off course it was accident but when I notice it I had one of this aha moments I did not expect any body else to spot it ! Similar way I dont think I see my models the same way .Some professions are prone to skew your perception of things I was a musician half of my life since then I cant hear song as a whole I hear bass line, drums line, guitar all separate, same with model I make more or less there are separate pieces joined together if that makes any sense to you
