I did that once in grammar school. Made a diorama with a Ford Model T kit in it coming off the assembly line.
I would say a lot of my inspiration comes from things I see or have been exposed to in some way. Saw the cover of a recent Collectible Automobile and was inspired
As I’m currently building the ‘57 Del Rio wagon and Customline recently built the AMT Edsel my brain immediately put the two kits together and thought I could build this. But something whispered in the back of my head to look deeper and I discovered that Jimmy Flintstone did this in resin. So do I go resin, or do I build it myself? Decisions, decisions, but I have too many other projects right now so maybe I should just look away?
