In case there are those on the forum who don't have enough to keep up with, James Wood now has a new website. Assembled by the great Jono the X Man, I must say it has far exceeded my expectations for design. Find it here at: http://www.creation43.com/index.php


Looking forward to seeing some of you over there!

James

I am afraid James and Peter are both exaggerating about my talents... The reason James' new site looks good is because of the content I had to work with: James' amazing models (along with Mike's pictures of them), made the design almost come together on its own :o)

I agree with Peter, James and Jono, the art of presenting art. Well done guys! Someone needs to buy that Jaguar XK120, it is tugging on my desires way too much. I have to keep it in a closet.

Like Mike, I have to say it's somewhat of a surprise to me the French Cat hasn't found a home yet. It may not be apparent in the photos, but as the builder you should know I believe its my best work to date.

I have had the same thought for several weeks - I cannot believe Mike still has the "French Cat"... Normally he barely has a chance to even photograph James' models before they sell.

If I was not so broke myself, I would buy it without hesitation :o(

Hopefully it's a Jaguar. She'll find a good home.
A Maserati is to be much much much more harder to sell.
What's the appeal of Ferraris ? Is it the color ? Is it the shapes (and then praise the bodyworkers rather than the prancing horse)?

season's greetings,
Antony

I am always attracted to shapes regardless of the badge but I also understand that collectors need to have discipline and set some criteria for their collections otherwise this hobby will quickly erase your bank account.

You are absolutely right.

Sorry if my previous reply has/will offend forum members/readers. That was not my intention. That was an attempt of being funny. I screwed up. Sorry

Antony you are always very funny, I liked your comment. I remember laughing all night when we had dinner in Paris. You and your brother-in-law should go on tour with your comedy act at night clubs. :-)
