I then realized I have a Black Tie Prowler in 5 scales now! (SIX if you include the real car...LOL). All models are custom except for the Eagle 1:43 Black Tie.

Dr. Prowler...Black Tie is more of an obsession than "theme" at this point....LOL.

thedqman: (From large to small...)
The large one is a remote control silver I think it's 1:12 scale? I painted the black parts on it.

1:18 Anson Silver with switched hood and trunk.

1:24 Monogram model. painted and detailed beyond belief. I even made little mudflaps for the front fenders.... Yes VCD, that's a little Mini-Me in the car.

1:43 Eagle Black Tie edition. Comes in commemorative display box and can still be found at www.towerhobbies.com about $15. No painting needed on that one.

1:64 Racing Champions Silver Prowler with hood and trunk painted and teeny tiny silver pinstriping added and a teeny tiny me in the drivers seat.....

What's with the "LOL" - DO IT!

1. Find an open area (field or empty parking lot).
2. Back up until the scale is right from the 5 little guys to the "large scale" one.
3. Compose the picture at a low angle so that the "triangle" is continued.
4. You can even sit in the big one and have someone else snap the picture!

I used this technique at the 1980 Olympics where it looked like my wife was holding up the Olympic Flame.
