Great work so far, Tomo! It's good to see an old kit saved. I like the wrap-around window idea - kind of like the old Studebaker Starlite coupes. Sam

Looks good! I like the weathering too. Makes it look real. Very good work! Sam
-
Great Merc! I like the two tone paint, and the engine detail is excellent! Nice work! Sam
-
Nice cars, all of them! Great scratch building work! Sam

Sixties Sam replied to Eshaver's topic in WIP: Dioramas
Ed, I've always admired your great gas station dioramas, and this one is a work of art! Is that fiberglass cloth and epoxy covering? And those shingles must have taken forever to put on! Great work! The place has real character. Sam -

Looks great! Very nice clean build with good detailing! Sam -
Very well done model. It reminds me of Steve McGarrett's car in the original Hawaii 5-0 TV show, although I think that was a Mercury. The wooden base is classy. Good work! Sam

Man, that is NICE! The bodywork, the paint, the wheels, the engine - all just about perfect! Excellent work!! Sam
-
Great clean build! The interior looks like you could crawl in and drive away! The magazine on the seat is a nice touch. Great paint and engine detail, too! Sam
-
Tulio, that is a beautiful model! It looks very real in the photos with that diorama. Nice color, and the chassis detail is amazing for a one piece molded part! I have that same Galaxie kit I built in the 1960's. I like the simple kits, too. Sam

I've used 3/16" thick foamboard for walls on several dioramas. It's easy to cut with an X-acto knife and a metal straightedge. It takes paint well, or can be covered with brick paper, and it's fairly cheap. I use cheap underlayment 1/4" plywood for things like garage floors and sidewalks. Sam

Nice Mustang! You don't see many of that style and year. Foil looks good! Maybe you could grind a thin spot with a Dremel tool in the underside of the hood to make it fit better. Or use a thinner air cleaner? Sam

Wow! Amazing build! Great detailing, and good work on the doors and trunk. The model box in the trunk is a very cool detail! Sam
-
Clean and nice Ford! I like the colors. Good work! Sam
-
Great build! The color suits it. It looks like a "Grandpa" car that would lure you into a stoplight drag race, then kick your butt! Nice work! Sam
-
Great looking Plymouth! I agree it's nice to see one that's not red. The foil work must have kept you busy! Good job on it and the whole car! Sam
-
Nice! Great colors and wheels. Mean stance, too! Good work! Sam
-
Great job and great photos. I thought the second pic was a reference photo of a 1:1 Lotus! Very nice! Sam
-
What a piece of junk! And I mean that as a compliment! Bullet holes, broken glass, flat tires, all nice touches of realism. Well done! Sam
-
Very good build of an unusual subject. Great color and engine detail. Very nice work on this! Sam
-
Very nice diorama! The lights really make it look real. Good work! Sam
-
That's gotta be the best looking Cameo I've seen! Just beautiful! Great interior and the hood hinge is amazing! Sam
-
Ditto what he said! Body color is great too! Sam
-
Great woodworking job! Are the wheel rims laminated from thin strips of balsa? Sam
-
Great job on the model! WARNING - In eight more years she'll want you to buy her a real one like that! The paint looks great - can't believe it's brushed on! Nice work, both of you! Sam
