I built it 20 years ago. I used to go to so many cool yards that are now gone. I used weathering techniques from the photos I took of the salvage yards, I hope you guys like it. by the way, I have every model ive ever gotten since I was a kid from 1964 on up, they are not pictured but if everyone likes this, I will take some pictures of my rare models and share them with you. thanks, bill

  7. Awesome. The only thing missing is an ornery German Shepherd and an old guy with a shotgun.

  8. Oh great... Now you'll have a string of tiny hot rodders climbing fences, poking around, shining little flashlights at night, asking if you know who owns all the "old junk" down the road! That's a great diorama? you built there, excellent work!!
     
  9. lot of time invested there....awesome deal

    Hey Zeph....
    Okay, okay-I’ll be the first one to say this because maybe some others might be thinkin the same thing.
    I’m not usually a fan of PLASTIC cars specificly the more “full size version”... especially here on the HAMB !!!
    But...
    HOLY CRAP Zeph that is really Kool!!!
    Awesome detail. What you have shown there is more like a time machine and you may want to change the post title-lol
    Plastic fantastic, I’m in awe!
