Avon Jag
This Jag is from the Avon series of collector car decanters. The rear of the car comes off, giving you access to the contents...of a scent called "Wild Mountain"...my opinon?...it should have been called..."Pheweeee!" The good news...after several washings, it has no aroma anymore...!
While most of my collection of some 75 Jaguar XK models (120's, 140's, 150's and XKE's) are the more conventional 1/18, 1/24 and 1/43 scales, I do have about ten that don't fit into the usual 'die-cast' category. These are ones that are either made of glass, plastic, rubber or even coal!!! The ones shown here are from that group...
A note on the photos...these were taken using a translucent light table, mostly using a Nikon SB-24 to illuminate the backpanel and a variety of smaller SB-30's for detail lighting or to light the glass models from underneath the frosted acrylic. In many of the shots I used a colored gel or two for some additional 'pop' to the shot... Exposures were generally 1/4000 of a sec. at f 8.0. None have been enhanced or altered with PhotoShop except for the addition of the 'matting' effect and a few bits of blemish removal..(cat hairs on the table!!)
