jlucky Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Greetings Once Again, Just thought I'd show off one of my most recent projects...a drag racing garage diorama. As the announcer at the local drag strip (MIssion Raceway) it's always been on my list to build this thing. I've hung on to parts, pieces, kits and so forth for decades just waiting to get this done. Well it's done now...I'm no pro-builder but I sure had a lot of fun putting it together. All comments are welcome. Take care, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say they came from the AMT Engine packs. I KNOW that's where the cam shafts and crackshafts came from...so I'm just taking a stab at it because they were already in my loose parts drawer and painted...so that's the best I can do. Sorry.

TonyK Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I've built many dioramas and enjoy looking at other people's work as I can appreciate what they've gone through to create their own. I like so many things you've done; the window, posters purposely NOT put up exactly straight, the display within a display and a bit of humor thrown in with the skeleton. Nicely built dragsters too.
