Okay, so I took some time to resize the man-door...I had it almost 50% too short...anyways, I now have an scale 80" tall door! Thanks, Luke57 for pointing that out! Here's with a few models, a coke machine, and a "Posh Spice" figure (sometimes you find cool stuff in the discount aisle!) I'm still planning on putting trim around the doors, and possibly around the outer edges of the building facia...not sure if I'll go with a clapboard, brick, or stucco for the finish...still have to make a sign for the shop..."Mr. Rusty's....Shop"...not sure of the full name yet... Any and all comments are welcome! Especially if it will help me at this point of the project (like Luke57 pointing out the too small door frame)...Thanks!

#1-The Bullitt '68 Mustang diecast kit isn't too bad on the shelf!! It's nice and shiny, and heavy, too! #2-I'd suggest the Monogram '59 Chevy, convertible, or hardtop...or the Revell '55 Chevy convertible as well (Indy Pace car). Seperate frame, floor, etc...lots of opportunity for weathering...

Simply stunning!! Fantastic!!!

One of my favourite cars! What did you use for the red paint? It looks really great!

Congrats to John and Tom...Best of luck with this venture! As a long time model car builder, I will do my level best to buy what arrives on the shelves, and strikes my fancy from this exciting news! Thank you! Hey, I like Molson Canadian...One of our biggest exports these days, I think!!! It tastes better here, though...my opinion!

Very cool! I love the look of those cars...especially the black steelies, and the "fire wall" tires!

Wow! Nice build!! Love the stance, and the wheels! Very much a period piece there!!

Thanks...love the Hooters car...I think I forgot to take account for the frame I put around after...will have to fix that!

Very nicely done! Nice use of space! You must have a very understanding wife!! I know I do!

Here's the start of my garage diorama...just glued sheet plastic (unused shower wall sheet!) with Tenak...garage doors are slide in right now... Thanks to you diorama builders, and your photography, I was inspired! I'll keep you posted as I progress...

Looks great! It really helps to have a proper setting for a picture of a model. Thanks for sharing!

I was about 3 (1965/6)...Built the Mustang and Maverick from the Palmer line...next was an AMT '53 Ford Pick up, that I built with my Dad. Been building ever since, other than when the kids were little.

Cool...I think you are right!

Great idea and thanks for the how-to...

Wow! Nice diorama! Very nicely done!

That's a real nice build. Nice combo of colour, and the wheels and tires really make it!

Very cool build! Love it!

Cool idea! Great way to spend 24 hours! Go from box to shelf! Good luck to all of you doing this...and have a nice snooze Sunday afternoon!

Thanks, VW Dave...Hey, I built ONE!

Also, thanks James and thanks Jared! I'm glad you like it. It was a fun build, took a bit of time to get it all the way I wanted. I'm happy with how it turned out, though!

Along the lines of celebrating the 27th anniversary of my 18th birthday...I'm still 18, right?

2000 Ford Taurus LX wagon, 24v 3.0l Duratec V6...125,000km since new. Project Herbie: 1967 VW Beetle. Planning a Herbie the Love Bug Replica. Here's the '67 stunt car used in Herbie Rides Again.

Very nice!

Thanks, Raul! Always looking at the lighter side of life!

Oh, and thanks for the welcome, Chris!
