Hello Gregory,
I agree, the shape of automobiles is hard to selectively compress in scale and
still be "recognizable" as their full scale counterparts. I get the feeling it
would almost be easier to model in microfig because you could get away with
more abstraction.
That being said,I hope you didn't take my comments about your MOCs as a slam
(it kind of comes off that way, though, sorry). The models themselves were
REALLY cool, which is why I wanted to point my kids to the site. A lot of my
students drive those kinds of cars, so they'd get a kick out of your MOCs. I'm
into old Mopars, so it's not quite my cup of tea, but the parts themselves
would be fun to model.
