Talking Kunta's Work: SPOTTED

Hi guys, it has been a while since I've posted but I always give a look now and then. I haven't totally lost touch with this forum.

Well I was surfing the net for AE86 parts and happen to come accross this webpage:
When I first saw that red GT4, I knew it was Kuntas work... for one the background gives it away, and of course it is a RED model. Scroll to the bottom and you'll also see a black MK2 MR2.

Seems to me they're trying to pass them off as REAL cars. Osamu, you should be flattered... but do as you please. Anyways, that's it for now.

MODEL ON!

I think I know why this happens, 'cause it happened to me too-kinda sorta...

I've been known to research 1:1 car images for models-I think we all end up trying that for inspiration at one time or another. Doing a simple Google image search most times yields some great pictures of cars that I want to model. Ebay Motors is also great. I remember looking up Lotus Esprit pictures on Google a couple years ago, and one of Kunta's models showed up (his red Monogram Esprit). At the time I didn't realize it was Kunta's, nor a model until I studied it carefully (it may have been Veyron that told me it was a model). His models and photography really do trick the eye. It was later when I was on Kunta's website that I realized what I had been looking at previously and remembered that particular Google search. Some webmaster must have culled pics from an image search and had no clue those were models. Kunta should have some fun with this

Hi,
I didn't know about that website.
well, I found several websites which use my pics without my permission few years ago.
I sent protest email to them...
but soon I give up to do such troublesome thing and find a wise policy, indicate my URL on my pics.

anyway, yes. that's fun

oh, that MR2 is dark metallic green.

Re: Kunta's Work: SPOTTED

Exactly which dark metallic Green Osamu? I've been looking for a nice fine grained one for a while.

Please excuse the OT.

Re: Kunta's Work: SPOTTED

Thanks for that Osamu. For some reason I usually have no luck mixing up such colours.
