Excellent Jaguar! The wheels are cool! Sam

Very nice Mini! The foiled fender flares are great! Sam

Very nice Mustang! The yellow looks great! Nice engine detail too. One coat of paint? Wow! The black trim really sets it off nicely! Good work! Sam

I use figures in all my dioramas. As much as we all like cars, life is about people. Putting people in the scene makes it a slice of life, not just a model display. I use mostly G scale model train figures. Some are not extremely realistic, but if I put them in shadow, like in this diner diorama photo, they still work to make a decent scene, I think. Sam

Ken, you're right about the too thick tubing. i just used what I had handy on the 57. Ironically, look at the tongue jack on the trailer in the second photo. Guess what that is? It's a piece of R/C transmitter antenna. It can be telescoped down to let the trailer stand on the caster, unhitched from the car. I had the exact right tubing for the exhaust on hand and never thought of using it! Duuuh! Thanks for the good idea! Sam

It's a beauty! I'm not a fan of big wheels and thin tires, but those look just right on this Buick. Nice work! Sam

Great hot rod! The shifter is a cool touch! Sam

I don't think I've never seen a model of a Monza before. It's great to see a rare subject like that. Nice work on it! Sam

Here's my 1/12 57 with the teardrop trailer I scratchbuilt for it. I built the car about six years ago, and made the trailer and diorama in 2009. The trailer uses the 57's stock wheels. Here are some hitch details. Here it is in my campground diorama. I forgot to paint the rubber bullets on the bumper black - fixed 'em later.

Excellent build of an iconic 50's car! Great finish and detailing. Curb feelers are a cool touch! Sam -
Very cool and ingenious design, and a great building job! The Corvette theme is great! I assume those Vette headlights would both rotate and come on with the ignition if it were a real bike. Great concept! Sam

It's the great pumkin Charlie Brown/ 76 Pacer
Sixties Sam replied to Green Duster's topic in Model Cars
That is cool! Great build! I remember making fun of Pacers in the 1970's. Now they're cool! Sam -
Very nice build of an unusual subject! Great colors! Sam

Simply amazing work! You have way more talent and patience than me! Probably better eyes, too! Sam -
Incredible model! The engine is killer! 1/8 scale is great for details! Beautiful! Sam

Cool 32! The blue color really pops! I like the coupe, too. 32 Fords are my favorites for hot rodding. Nice job on both! Sam

Sweet Olds! Great detailing, and the chassis looks very realistic! Nice work! Sam
