Do you build the back drops as well?

Yes I do my back drops. Thank you. They are really not that impressive in person, but they do the job quite well for photos. I enjoy donig the old, "Tricking of the eye" thing with my model photos. It is fun.
At this time the drag strip is in pieces. I was not happy with a few things. I think all of my white lines on the track were too big. So I want to redo that. All of the bilboard ads were all nods to good friends of mine and my daughter. She is the owner of the Chevy and Jaguar dealerships.
Here are a few shots from when I was building the backdrop. It was just made from foam core board and some modeling plastic stock. I bet some of you SoCal guys see my nod to the late Great OCIR.The track that should had never died but without it's death. I would not have had all of the years of memories at Firebird International Raceway here in Phoenix.
