    Looks nice, great job giving it a second life!

    The Vallejo Still Water looks very good. This diorama will look awesome when you do B&W night scene lighting pictures.

    This is what James Hilton's 68 Charger / 69 Charger 500 looked like in 2014 and my model of it as well as a little diorama to display it Of course a lot of modifications and scratch building All finishes done with brushes Thank you for looking

    My final post for the w.i.p. of this diorama. Most of the wall decorations are installed, just finishing the last ones All the accessories and the car are done. I will set up the photo setup and display the finished project in the under glass section in a day or two.

    Feels like being there. I have to plan that trip to the UK beautiful work.

    Moving on to making stuff for the walls I got some license plates in the works (no hubcaps though...) A few decals to be applied over thin sheet styrene The bigger signs are from a Gofer printed vinyl sheet. I cut the individual signs and glued them to styrene for support. Will trim and paint the edges. Finally I have a few body panels, not sure yet what I will do with them, perhaps some wall mount car art of some sorts. Chime in if you have suggestions

    The last piece of facility fabrication is a wall mount industrial style heater. I scratch built the unit and mounted it to the shop wall

    The body on this kit looks great with crisp details. This should be a great build. Amazing the size difference between the 2 cars...like they are different scale.

    Thanks Mark and David, The car is done and the diorama components are 95% done. I can see the finish line!

    Wow, making your own headers pays off in a big way. Fabulous!

    Weekly progress I finished the big bench that will fill the back wall below the mezzanine. Some parts and tools glued to the top surface and bench glued to the wall I plan to add some wall decoration and the back side of the shop will be set. Some of the boxes and containers that I made in the last weeks have filled the storage unit. Finally I have set up an area for some engine assembly work.

    Bill, best license plates ever! Thanks for sharing this...I plan to shamelessly copy this!!!

    Your paint finishes are simply gorgeous. Did you refinish the chrome rims? They look just right.
  17. Pierre Rivard
    That engine is simply brilliant! It looks so real!
  18. Pierre Rivard
    Thank you sir for the great information. Your work is brilliant! I personally brush paint everything and I love Vallejo products but it's great to learn about alternatives. Most of my stuff is posted on Randy Ayer's but I really like the variety on MCM

    Your tramway cab is absolutely beautiful. The colors and finishes are so lifelike. I can see the famous spring! The figures are great with very crisp detailing and paint. I have been in the hobby only 5 year and I have used only acrylics for painting. I don't know anything about enamels but the results are superb. Can you explain to this beginner why you selected enamels for your paint of choice?
  20. Pierre Rivard
    I'll be watching with interest. You might want to make your own spring instead.

    Beautiful build. Details of the darker parts are crisper and more visible on the black glossy base pictures.

    What David wants David gets. Engine hoist is done my friend! Slow progress on the rest of the stuff. I got going on the small tools from the Fujimi kit... Small tools at 1/25 scale are very, very, VERY small. Cutting them off the sprue, cleanup, painting and the foolish idea to cleanly glue them to work bench or tool boxes. I survived it...barely. My hat's off to the diorama builders. This stuff takes commitment.
  23. Pierre Rivard
    God this baby looks good. It'll be a shame to wrap a body over this gorgeous chassis!
  24. Pierre Rivard
    Thanks David. I have now started on the engine hoist you have "requested" ?

    Boxing day! Gotta fill those shelves. I made the boxes by cutting little styrofoam shapes and wrapping them with paper Doing the decals required careful layers of Future over the intended surfaces, dealing and then a flat clear seal.
