My modest contribution to this great topic

This is my first attempt in fabrication of a diorama. Advice from fellow modelers sought Working on this badly neglected stock car I was thinking to put it in a shop as it is about to go through a massive salvage operation The car exists for real (showing the finished chassis below) The diorama is completely fictional. First floor for the car, benches, tools and shelves, mezzanine would be a little official & rest area The base structure and layout is advanced at this stage and I am currently fabricating tools and benches This is a lot of work but a lot of fun since this is all new stuff for me Looking for help on where I can find some of the little office type of stuff like coffee pots, food, magazines, newspapers, etc. Here's what I have made so far. Again looking for any kind of advice from all of you. Thanks

Thank you for showing this great build. You pointed out that you feel the stance is a bit high which made me understand why these Meng look a bit different vs the Fujimi. I had the impression the men front fenders were too much "bulged up" but if we could compensate by dropping the ride and pulling the front track width a bit it would look just right I love your builds, they always look so realistic!

Can't wait to see the final result. The amount of work you had to put into this massive transformation is impressive.

Thank you all for your nice comments. I will certainly post more builds on this site in the future.

Hello all, This is my first posted subject on MCM. Excited and a bit nervous. MPC body over stretched AMT T-bird chassis, Polar Lights 429 engine. Excellent Powerslide decals. I also used the wheels and tires from the AMT T-bird chassis. All finishes are brush painted. I mixed my own colors using Vallejo and the clear is just Future Metalized parts are a mix of Tamiya silver and flat gray plus Vallejo washes plus some Tamiya weathering master to give it a weathered appearance I used Tamiya smoke and a flat varnish on bumpers also to give it a bit of a weathered effect. Thank you for looking

Testing, never did a post before

Wow, beautiful work. What products do you use for weathering the engine parts? It looks so realistic.

Both of them knocked out of the park. Gorgeous!

Wow these are all great. Nothing beats the funky colors from the seventies. Beautiful builds!

Looking really good. Impeccable work as always with your builds!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful and what great subject for a scale model. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks, silver before primer, most useful tip.

This looks most promising. What do you plan to do for the white over red plastic challenge?

Wow, this is absolutely delightful work. So much to absorb. Your engine looks so lifelike with the detailing but above all the beauty of the metalized parts showing just the right amount of tarnish/wear. Inspiring!

Superb interior detailing!

Can't wait to see the whole thing come together. You must be pretty close to the grand finale!

These headers are amazing! Do you use Evergreen rods or tubes. Just thinking tube would hold a bend better Thanks for sharing, I got to learn something new today. Cool stuff.

Looking closely...I want to learn how to make my own headers. Please start the lesson professor Mark!

Beautiful and creative approach to this build. No surprise since your modela are always gems! A pleasure to follow this one.

Wow! The detailing and weathering is second to none. Outstanding!

It's taking shape. The part on left side of the accessory drive is a dry sump pump?
