    Ok.. so I dug out some copies of Old Glory, and checked the colors for a Horbsby  traction engine.. and then weathered the model a bit..

    Here come the Judge!

     

    Gotta Love Da Judge, always loved the GTO, but my favorite year precedes the Judge, as my very first (drivable) car was a 66 GTO!

    Did this for one of music's challenges some years ago. Notice the shifter.

    Edit: wow, the forum downgraded the quality.  I don't see that muddy crap around the decal on my computer.

    next up, following the steam crawler, I think I'm going to see if I can kitbash a Stronach_Dutton Roadrail setup, which combined steam traction engines and railroad tracks.
    this one in the pic is a converted Yorkshire steam wagon.

    Wikipedia:
    "Major Frank Dutton, SAR Signal Engineer and the Motor Transport Superintendent, developed and took out several patents on a loco-tractor system. The aim was to replace or eliminate the steam locomotive on non-profitable branch lines since he considered the locomotive to be the main deciding factor on the questions of grades, curves and weight of rails, which governed the cost of construction.Dutton argued that a rubber tyre in contact with a hard road would be better at transferring tractive power than a steel wheel on steel rail. He claimed that the tractive effort to be obtained by using rubber-tyred driving wheels running on roads was 1,330 pounds (603 kilograms) per long ton of adhesive weight, compared to the 334 pounds (151 kilograms) per long ton which could be obtained by using steel wheels running on rails. His proposed system would use railway trucks on rails, hauled by a rail-and-road-borne tractor which would be guided by a four-wheeled bogie on the rails, but with driving wheels fitted with solid rubber tyres which would run on well-prepared strips of road on each side of the rail track."

    I remember this one. The Judge...with the "gavel" shifter. This was when we all were doing the "gavel" wars. There were gavel renders everywhere...hahaha. That was a blast!

    You ought to see the crap Porshe is building today, a 4 door, (thats as wrong as Chrysler's Dodge Charger), and an SUV, Porshe is a supercar builder, not a family car company! I guess they have a right to expand their market, but it just don't look right!!!!

    My take on the "GTO". a 1965. Huge big block V8 with two four barrels and a four speed.

    I heard that Volkswagen is going to discontinue the "beetle". Hell, it's been around since like 1949 or something. That's just WRONG!

    Actually Volkswagon did quit producing the Beetle for the American market back in the 70's, it was made in South America after that for the European market, (go figure!), you could still get parts for them well into the early 2000's.

    Looks like Schurby's GTO, he did a nice job on that one, for some reason the tires get all messed up when shaded with Iray materials, and they come out looking awful, may have to use Dudley's Crager mags and tires off of the Nova on that Goat.

    Thank you.  I haven't done much of anything lately.  I do have one other car render, something I put together for a birthday card for a nephew some years back.

    I know it doesn't compare to some of the work I've seen in here.
