Very nice, I really love this technique, however sadly I don't think it's acceptable to scan toy cars and post them here, someone has copyright on the car design. It's probably not illegal for you to scan the cars and post them here, it's probably covered by fair use, but fair use is not applicable in free culture because free cultural works have to allow even commercial reuse -- if someone takes these cars from here and starts selling them, he may get sued by the toy manufacturers (or whoever holds copyright on the design of the cars). Generic car shape isn't copyrightable but added aesthetic elements are, design of cars can definitely be owned (unfortunately), otherwise any car manufacturer could just create exact copied of let's say Ferrari cars without paying any license fees etc. It's similar with guns as well: games that want to use real existing guns have to buy a license. So while it may be OK to post this, the free license is likely ineffective, it's the same as if someone posted Harry Potter characters here: it's fine as fan art but not as a free cultural work. This is a common trap in free culture, it's often tolerated e.g. on Wikipedia for populist reasons and so the idea that it's OK to do is being normalized, but true free culture simply doesn't permit fair use (I even had mascots removed from STK using this argument, it's not just my opinion). It's a shame because it's really a nice work, but I think it can't be posted under a free culture license. It would be awesome if you (or anyone else) could make a physical model of a car with own design and scan it in the same way, then it would be fine. Anyway, I just wanted to point this out, the final word is of course that of the admin, I'll just leave this here.
Fair use is not allowed in free culture because while it will probably be considered fair use as it stands when posted, once someone does things with it (which is the point of free culture), such as expand it or start selling it, it will stop being fair use.

Everything on this site is allowed to be used, it's a prerquisite to be able to post anything.
Amazing, thank you so much for sharing this, what a beautiful work :)
Yay, my texture :D Thanks for improving it.

This is exceptionally beautiful, I'm surprised I'm the first one to favorite this.
EDIT: OK, maybe I was second :D
Loving this very much, thank you :)
Lol :D OGA turning into recipe site? I like how you make 3D models of your food, that's much more epic than posting your lunch photos to instagram.
Lovely art Raptorspank, thank you very much, it gives me so much Pokémon nostalgia :D
