That is a really nice Pete. Seeing the woman next to it reminds me of the old OVERDRIVE magazine covers.

I REALLY like this.  The idea of use photos for people never entered my mind.  The shop is nice too.  Time to recreate some of the old Peterbilt "Class" ads from the 70's and 80's.  Might have to try something like the below for a diorama.  Thank you for the inspiration.  Any suggestions on how to do whitewalls?

Peace.

Very nice!

Whitewalls are easy depending on what tire , use white acrylic paint ( do not use enamel paint it will never dry), and either a steady hand or a paint mask! Some 1/16 car kits have whitewalls that might work for a 1/25 truck tire.

Thanks, RIchard.  I'm gonna give the acrylic a try. I just  ass-u-me d it wouldn't stick...and cheap-skate here is too much of a tightwad to buy resin ones.  Consider it on the docket.

Peace.
