Black Tie 161	I wanted an Anson 1:18 Black Tie, so I bought a black and a silver from etoybugs off ebay for $15 each. I then switched the hood and trunks.... I painted the top door sill black, and on the reverse Black Tie, I used silver metallic vinyl. Then cut silver and black auto vinyl thin for the pinstriping... 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. ------------------
Nasty Cat	very cool Thanks for sharing
Wayne Finch
DR PROWLER	Great job! Black Tie,Black Tie and Black Tie....do I see a real preference here?
thedqman	Very cool 161, Could you tell me the other scales and where you bought them? GREAT JOB! Mike 2000 Black Tie
CatDude	Whose that guy in the middle car? Is that a scale model of you?
CJ	Clever idea!!
Gary C	Cleverly done....
Black Tie 161	Thanks gang... 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..... ------------------

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.
