I am currently building a diorama for a backdrop. When looking back at photos of my builds, where I took the photo is all over the place. Add in the variations in lighting and the results were hit and miss. Like you I have seen models displayed with nice back drops and like the added touch it brings. It makes viewing the subject more interesting.

Continuing the stripes on the hood. Well done!

Very unique subject done very well. You should be proud.

I am kind of with Snake here. After first joining forums and seeing the high quality builds of others, I joined the quest for perfection. My vision was 90% there but my skills were only 75% of what would be required. After my two Freightliner builds, I was pretty pleased with the results. I found I have the patience but the man-hours required really makes the build stretch out. I still am working for a living and maintaining a house and a yard. I have backed off some to keep my builds good enough for me and gain a few compliments but I do not have a appreciative audience in my circle of influence. I am back to building for fun, which is why I do it in the first place.

I remember a green 2nd Gen Camaro in a car mag around 1976. The flares were perfectly proportioned. It still has left an impression on me. I will be following your build.

I was in my garage at home and found this nice, thin aluminum duct. I remembered I have a collection of various license plate decals and I thought They would be great as wall art in my garage diorama. I went through all the steps to make them realistic as possible by even rounding off all the corners. Now if only I had a laser to make the holes...........

Decaled the fridge and RC cola machine.

Decaled the flammables locker and glued some of the tools for display

Looks like an ambitious project. Following.

Mike, Welcome to the fun! I like the same cars and have a fun Pontiac too. I haven't made it to retirement yet though.

Very nice build! Someday, I'll take a swing at mine.

Finished up my tire service equipment.

Thank you Brian

I like this look.

Here are my jacks and creepers before and after decals.

Thank you Pat and David.

Thank you David and Graham.

Thanks. If you get a twin post from Fujimi, modify the base and bring the post closer together. Stock, the arms have to approach pointing at each other which reduces the four point spread holding the model.

You are right. I left out the ZL-1 detail.

One supposed fact I have read numerous times over the years is that of the (69) '69 427 COPO Camaros, 2 had the RS option.

I got to be the 50,000th viewer of this thread.

Sweet ride!

Very well done build. I like the bedliner and the two tone color choice.

Excellent finish and stance. I agree, the wheelie bars need to be much closer to the ground.

Very nice K-Whopper!
