Lightning McQueen vs. Thomas the Tank Engine (311/365)

Posted to Flickr on 07 November 2010. Part of the Duel 365 series.

Lightning McQueen: Successful, hot-shot racecar who hopes to be the first rookie to win the Piston Cup race but who has a lot to learn.

Thomas the Tank Engine: Cheeky little blue engine on the Island of Sodor who always strives to be "really useful" but who has a lot to learn.

If they had to fight, who would win?

#311 in the Duel 365 series.

Duel 365

Duel 365 was a year-long project I started in 2010. The goal was to post one photo each day depicting a duel, usually between two pop culture figures, and asking the question, "If they had to fight, who would win?" At the request of those who came to follow the project, I also provided text descriptions of each character. One of the rules was to avoid using the same figure in multiple photos. Another challenge was that I was not allowed to use Photoshop or other advanced photo editors to create the scenes; all editing was done either in-camera or with Apple’s iPhoto software. Over 700 figures were used for the project, which believe it or not represents only a small part of my toy collection.
