  1. Anybody been catching the coverage of Barrett Jackson collectible auto auction from Scottsdale AZ this past week?Good Lord there were some nice cars this year.And I can’t get over the amount of pick ups,Blazers,and Broncos,(old and new) that were at the auction.Some of them were fetching a huge sum of $$.Today is the last day of the auction,and this is when they bring out the best they have to offer..However there was one particular car that sold earlier this week that I still couldn’t believe what it sold for.It was a very low milage,show room condition 81 Z28 Camaro that sold for around $98K.?‍♂️That has to be a world record.I mean yea it was a really nice car,but come on $98K?Some of these guys just have way too much money burning a hole in their pockets.And I know a lot of folks don’t really like watching Barrett Jackson,or even Mecum,because the prices of some of the cars are so high.And while I agree 110%,I just really watch it simply to see all the different cars.?.
  2. Yup I heard about this yesterday.And as Slusher said,I agree,the guy needs to slow down a bit.And yea it really sucks that his show (Jay Leno’s Garage),is ending.I’ve always been a huge fan of his,ever since he took over the Tonight Show back in the early 90s.IMO he was the best host of that show.I mean I just always thought the guy was hilarious,and have always admired his love,and knowledge of anything to do with his passion of all things,(cars).I hope he recovers well,and then maybe think about taking a vacation or something.
  3. Thanks,yea I agree it’s all in the details.I have a couple of houses and other buildings already built from another diorama scene that i need to fix up a bit,and put them together with this house.I find it easiest to use HO scale buildings,etc..Like I said , these are some buildings i used in the past.And I have others as well.It also helps when you take the photos from the right angle to make them look as realistic as much.But thanks again,and I’ll keep you posted.
  4. So i have a few houses,(HO scale),thought I would do another diorama.This is the first house being worked on.(pre built)
  5. Wow,great job,I really like how you used the paint brush to make the tall grass,as well as using the pencils to make the parking space bump stops.Never would have thought to do that.Anyway again,it looks great.??
  6. Wow,that is so realistic..I mean first off the car is incredible,but then you add the street,sidewalk,and especially the poles on either side of the buildings gas meter,and I would swear that it was all real.Great job.
  7. Wow,now that’s a mean looking Mopar,very nice.??
  8. Another legend gone..RIP?
  9. The New phone book is here,the new phone book is here.Page 73,Navin R Johnson.Lol?..I gotta say,I haven’t seen a phone book in a long time.
  10. Great job..I actually started to get into drag racing because of Bob Glidden. Definitely one of my favorite drivers.I remember meeting him a while back at E-Town.Such a nice guy.Too bad we lost him a couple of years ago.A true champion.?
  11. Excellent job.Great movie too.
  12. Wow,really great job.Haven’t seen one of these built so well before.The wheels look great,as well as the decals.I also also like how you have the side window down half way on the drivers side.
  13. This is such a great diorama.IMO,American Graffiti is one of the best films of all time.It’s amazing how young all those superstars were in that film.Again,just incredible.I love the police car coming apart.That was one of the best scenes in the movie.I always crack up ?during that part whenever I watch that movie.”Ok Toad,we’ll take ‘em all on.”??
  14. Wow,very cool
  15. Wow,I haven’t been checking things out in this section for awhile.I’ve got to say,this dio is wild.So much detail.?
  16. Very C??L
  17. Great job.This thing looks like a real car..Just amazing.
  18. Well no,most cars nowadays come with at least one,or more ashtrays,they’re called cup holders
  19. Well no,almost every car today has at least one or more ashtrays.They’re called “cup holders”
  20. Sucks that he died at such a young age of 60,and that he died of Pancreatic cancer..RIP ?Robbie.
  21. Tree rats,?,that’s a great name for them.Yea i’ve had my share of them running all over my roof.I didn’t mind it too much until they started doing it in the middle of the night.At least I think they were squirrels.I guess they were trying to get into the attic as well.They never were able to get in.However I recall one time,when a pretty large squirrel fell down our fire place,and hit the vent,or whatever you call it,and got into our house..My sister,brother,and myself were the only ones home.The squirrel then began to run all around the house,until we cornered it in our den.After which we called an exterminator who came and chased the little sucker out the back door.Oh and I call Seagulls,and pigeons flying rats.
  22. Well technically this didn’t happen to me,but it did make me laugh..My niece is currently in Florida with some friends while on Xmas break.They decided to take a walk down by the beach in Miami.When all of a sudden they saw a guy walking with an elderly woman,who looked a lot like Adam Sandler.Then as they got closer to him,they quickly realized that in fact it was Adam Sandler.The three of them wanted to talk to him,but didn’t want to annoy him.But then one of my niece’s friend decided to just walk over and started talking to him.After that,they walked over to him,and began to talk to him.My niece said he was really nice,and even asked the girls if they wanted to take a selfie with him,which of course they replied yes.So then my niece took the selfie,with her friends,and Adam Sandler..Afterwards they thought,what were the chances of bumping into him on some street in Miami..And the elderly woman was Adam Sandler’s mother.
  23. Oh man,just heard.That really sucks..RIP.
  24. Saw this “beater,but cool” truck parked at my bank yesterday.
