A very good effort, Michael, except that the wheels seem to be going backwards half the tiime. |

Re: Challenge 941: My kingdom for a hearse
Michael much thanks for the identification of the model number, and again I'm grateful for the valuable feedback concerning the wheel. I have hopefully fixed the wheel directional spin (now four frames), and readjusted the skyline correctly. In light of major corrections, I have placed the updated entry here: It's a fifty framer, so let is cycle through to get up to normal speed UPDATED AGAIN--CLEANED UP THE WHEELS

You are welcome Michael. That wheel spin is fixed now. Well done. I especially like the light reflections on your paintwork and am currently trying to put something similar on mine. |

Inclement weather changed my plans for the day — I had little else to do so I put together this totally pointless abomination...  |

Grandpa's taxi is great, Frank. Who is the driver of the pink hearse, Michael? You've done a great job with it! http://vimeo.com/797151728  _________________ Dorothy: Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore |

Nice work Loyd
Thanks anna. The driver of my hearse is the same driver of the Rolls Royce seen here.

Re: Challenge 941: My kingdom for a hearse
First to drive the hearse this week was DavidMac, with a matching Barbie doll - complete with helmet and checkered sleeves. Nicely done, although too strong a shadow for such an overcast day. We don’t get Graveyard Carz in the UK, but Frank's montage tells us all we need to know. I like the soft blending. A terrific setting for the second entry, the “Last Responder” - and a fine cast of characters, both inside and out. Glorious. Highly convincing flames from lwc, with the smoke and sparks adding greatly to the effect. A curious lava-like burst at the rear! And good to see Herman Munster in the second entry, complete with wagging finger. Is that a virtual reality experience with Kiss in the third entry? Not sure why the band is there – but I do like the steaming skeleton in the back of the hearse. The Munsters make a guest appearance in GKB's entry, repainted ghoulish green. I like the added coffin in the back. A great motorised coffin for Uncle Fester (and did you know that the actor who played him started his career opposite Chaplin in The Kid). I suspect Ant Snell’s excellent entry might have involved removing the original hearse from the photo - in which case, very neatly done. The three guys in the back with their checkered flag and piston trophies are a good addition, as is the coffin in the back. I see michael sinclair is back doing what Michael Sinclair enjoys most - driving cars down country roads. The spinning wheels are good, but don’t you get bored doing the same image over and over? A discreet curtain hides tooquilos' coffin from view as it waits outside the church. Great atmospheric effects in the animated version, and that’s a curious levitating coffin. I like how it wiggles as it slots into the grave. A curious mixture of messages in Ben Boardman’s entry: the cast of Top Gear, with Stig at the wheel, and a cardboard coffin sized for a rather short, fat Jeremy Clarkson. I like the Do Not Stack labels. And a gloriously rebuilt car. Expert remodelling from Mariner, with the hearse stopped outside Window Castle. A fine stab at the reflection of the police officer in the side of the vehicle, but I think that strong pink would produce a much more muted result - maybe change to Multiply mode? |

Thanks Steve. And thanks for the Multiply mode tip. I just tried it and it looks a lot better. |

Re: Challenge 941: My kingdom for a hearse
Thank you Steve. The coffin isn't for Jeremy himself, it's for his career at the BBC, as per the plaque. Good challenge. |

Re: Challenge 941: My kingdom for a hearse
Thanks Steve. But ‘Uncle Fester’? He was in the competing Addams Family. My character is Grandpa Munster. You need to brush up on your monster family trees  
… and I think I need to get out more 🤪 _________________ Always remember that you are unique - just like everyone else. |
