Voting for the picture of the year 2022 is now over and I am now starting the Nominations round for JANUARY 2023'S POTM CONTEST!!
Nominations will close on TUESDAY 14TH FEBRUARY, UK AM / MORNING TIME, and Voting will start soon after.
ONE EXTRA THING.. I KNOW WHAT MOST CARS ARE, BUT IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU COULD ALL SAY WHEN YOU NOMINATE THE PICTURE. YOU MUST DO THIS!!!!
So, on to the rules for this month,
Like previous months contests, there is huge twist to the nominations!
This sounds more complicated than it is, so please read carefully!!!
This time each member gets THREE nominations; you can nominate your own picture and two from other members (or your own and two from the same other member) or two of your own pictures and one from another member.
You must say whose pictures they are. If it’s one of your own, say ‘from my thread’ for the other members picture, say 'from drivinghermads’ thread (I have used Darren as an example)
You may not nominate three of your own.
You may not nominate three from other members.
You do not have to nominate three pictures, you may nominate just one or two. They can be your own, or from someone else.
Different pictures from the same thread may be nominated.
More than one thread can be nominated from a member. For example if drivinghermad nominates his Nissan Micra and a Ferrari picture from one of his threads, I can nominate his VW Polo picture from one of his other threads.
I will take the first 20 nominations and if we get there before the end date I will start the voting contest early.
Apart from that everything else remains the same.
Must be a first-time post on DX in JANUARY 2023, but I will allow photos posted in the 'POST ON RANDOM PIC PER DAY THREAD' PROVIDING IT IS SHOWN AGAIN IN JANUARY - TO SEE WHEN A PICTURE WAS POSTED, HOVER OVER WHERE IT SAY POST X DAYS AGO AND THE DATE WILL SHOW.
DO NOT POST A PICTURE FROM FEBRUARY.
Must have a scale model or scale models.
- All photos must have a link to the original thread & you must now say who posted it. If it's your picture, say 'from my thread' If it's from another thread say whose it is (it's just easier for me when I do the Voting thread)
- 1024x768, 250kB maximum sizes - to be honest though, any photo posted in JANUARY can be nominated (this relates to the size restriction, which I'm waiving)
GUYS - I REALLY WANT TO BOOST THE CONTEST, SO PLEASE TAKE NOTICE OF MY REQUEST IN RED ABOVE TO SAY WHERE THE PICTURE COMES FROM, IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS, I WILL NOT ACCEPT THE NOMINATION. IT TAKES ME A LONG TIME TO MAKE THE VOTING THREAD SO THIS HELPS ME A LOT.
- IF YOU JUST SAY 'MY PIC' AND NOTHING ELSE. I WON'T COUNT IT. YOU MUST SAY, MY PICTURE FROM MY THREAD HERE & GIVE THE LINK. OR SAY 'MEMBER NAME' PICTURE FROM THEIR THREAD HERE & GIVE THE LINK.
I HAVE TO BE STRICT AS IT DOESN'T JUST TAKE ME A FEW MINUTES TO CREATE THE CONTEST.
IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE RULES, I WILL NOT ACCEPT YOUR NOMINATION. I APPRECIATE THAT I HAVE SWITCHED THEM UP THIS MONTH SO PLEASE READ THE RULES THROUGH THOROUGHLY.
Hi everyone! During the last couple of months there have been some spin-offs from my "BEAUTIES IN THE DARK" topic in the "DX Classic / Vintage" sub-group and I have started to do some daylight shootings too. This means that my footprint in the forum is becoming more and more fragmented - so I...
List of my scale models, chronologically sorted by the date of purchase. I can see some little improvement in photography over the time and I can also see 90% of my collection needs to be re-photographed again... EDIT: Because of new site rules I have deleted first 90 pics to be able to edit...

Hello everyone! I decided to create this thread to share with you a part of my 1/18 model cars collection. I've been collecting for a year now having about 170 models (24/3/2022) more or less. I started my collection buying modern supercars (2010-today) but the last 6 months i've been...

My loves of British cars, sports cars, and 1990s cars definitely comes together to include the TVRs of this era. So when Cult announced this 1997 Griffith, the first 1:18 TVR in many years, I was really looking forward to it. And it didn't disappoint, it's the best 1:18 TVR model in almost 20...
There were a few postings and reviews here already on the Norev’s 300CE-24 Coupe, so I will just take this opportunity to share a few shots of the black version with AMG-wheels. I own the grey dealer edition one, but I decided to get the black & AMG-wheel version due to its lighter color...
The Chevrolet Corvette C8, the American legend that caused so much controversy when GM decided to move the powertrain midship for its 8th generation. With the limited 'premium' options of C8 Corvette in 1:18, I decided to get the GT Spirit version of the LT Stingray Z51 in Torch Red and I am...
My first 1/18th scale of the year 2023. The new Lincoln "Z" Zephyr. Now, I have the trifecta complete with my Ford Mondeo & EVOS platform mates. Thanks again to dealership promotionals in China via Lincoln (Ford Motor Company), produced by ST-Well. If only we Americans/Canadians demanded...
This a start to photographing my collection, just one car..the newest one and just got last week (thx to this forum). Ive been inspired by all the amazing outdoor shots of cars poses like 1:1 cars using natural light so I thought I try one myself..my DOF was little off, but the weather was...
