Here's a photo of my just completed diorama-ish display case. I say 'diorama-ish' because it was never intended to be very realistic or to compete with the fantastic dioramas that I've seen on this site, I just wanted something enclosed that looked more appropriate than brown wood. The models that I built during this past year were already covered in dust sitting on an open shelf so I repurposed one of the shelves in my Lawyer Bookcase. I just used foam board and images from the internet printed on regular printer paper then stuck with spray-glue and added inexpensive LED strip lighting. It looks good from 10 feet away.

I used Halloween themed skull fingernail decals to create a layer of 'ghosted' skulls in the black portion of a two-tone paint job on my recently completed Hudson kustom (also note the Buick grill).

Hi All! I'm an older guy getting back in to modeling since the pandemic started and I've been at home more. I used to build all types of models (started with monster models as a kid in the 60's) but am mainly interested in 1/24-1/25th scale car models. I'm now on my fifth model since the pandemic started and the last time I built a model was in the 80's. I've just been a looker at this website up till now but have gotten some good ideas and tips about modeling from this site. I look forward to seeing more builds and talking to other modelers.
