I actually do have authorship! I need to get some better pictures of the cars in my workspace and post over there.

I made a shadowbox to display some of my really old Hot Wheels cars for my desk at work. I printed the base from a stock photo, and then for depth attached some model railroad plants with a clear-drying glue.
