RATFLMFAO!! Thats just about the best laugh I've had in ages. Next time "the boss" gives me the poos about how hard life is I'm gonna pull this out and print a copy to stick to the fridge door :). Even the photo-shopped pics are hysterical.

Just curious which ones have had the Photoshop treatment, a first glance I didn't spot a fake ?

G'day Alan,
Work the shadows out on this one gives the steps a different sun (IMHO :)).

The door is below the blue cement/concrete in the bottom right hand corner (IMHO)

Reflections in the windows are wrong. If the right hand window was showing no sky and a "flat" shadow reflection the building wall under it would also have a shadow on it that would differentiate it from the wall under the left hand window. Also the brick work doesn't add up for such a sloppy job(IMHO)

Actually that might be an original. The idea is, that a shop of some sort is created, by adding another entrance and making the living room for example a sales area. It is sometimes seen on soviet time houses here where I live as well. Usually they have gone out of business and the doors are bricked up.
It might just be, that the stairs were built, but permission to cut the door is delayed.:rolleyes:



And now, something for all you drifting fans out there!
HORSE DRIFTING!

As someone who's worked on a few ranches and driven a few teams of horses I have to say I love the dude cutting doughnuts with the horse and wagon. Totally irresponsible and borderline abusive on the horse, but still freaking hillarious!

Sorry Coops

Got to say I don't think any of them are fake and don't see the reasons you give for suggesting they are.

Shadow looks fine on the steps up to the building referencing the angle of shadow to that coming off the window sills, drainpipe end etc. looks correct to me and I can agree with Panzergrenadier interpretation.

As for the windows, they were put in so badly the glass panes will be tipping at all angles, that's the ones actually in the frames, so that would account for the difference in reflection, and shadow well I just looked across at my neighbours and their house has reflecting images in the same way, some light some dark.

I can't see any image manipulation on the door up the building side when I look at it, and judging by the crap around the foundation area I'd say anything was possible using the company that built that.

Anyway, it only goes to show that its not modellers who are the only ones to not read plans correctly.

The one with the straw bales brought back memories. I was following lorry loaded almost as badly when it went rather too fast over a hump backed bridge and bales started to fall off into the road in front of me.

Not so good when your riding at speed a 750 motorcycle !! Luckily I managed to go through the "chicane" with only slight damage.....to my underwear.

Have a good Christmas one and all.

Sorry back at ya Alan :D,
I disagree with your interpretation of my interpretation :D:D. Then again if the ONLY opinion I wanted to hear was my own I'd go to one of the other sites so a robust intercourse is welcomed by me.
Glad to hear you survived the bike thing with only blood full of adrenalin and soiled underwear :eek::eek:. Bikes tend to be a lot of fun right up to the point were you loose control. Do you still ride? I'm thinking of a European holiday that would involve a lot of riding as my wife likes to get out and about on one.

Return the seasons wishes to you and yours plus all here at PA.

Hello everybody, first of all I would like to introduce ... My name is Alex, I'm from Spain (remains invited to parties and drink like Cossacks ;) ), and recently became a fan of Scratch Building. Congratulations for your forum, its great, I love it.

With regard to the subject, I would like to say that fortunately for the Russians and unfortunately for others, such things do not happen just there ... At least in my country you would be amazed ... It is also true that there are increasingly Russians and Romanians :D

Anyway, it is clear that several pictures will be modified with Photoshop.

Excuse me for my English.
