I like how you think

Just don't let the Seabees in, because then it's game over

Not so silly at all. I've been a woodworker for close to 40 years now. Wood dust is without doubt carcinogenic. Some woods are more toxic than others.

Happy birthday buddy

I think you did just fine given the time you've been in the hobby. The only criticism I could add would be maybe next time mask off the headlight lenses and you'll get a cleaner look to the black you painted. But seriously I think you did good.

I'm really liking this build

The body style reminds me of the Car Craft Dream Rod. I like it so far.

Beautiful job on that truck. Looks perfect

Those wheels are a model unto themselves Keep us updated

MDF is actually quite affordable and if I remember correctly you can buy them in 2' x 4' pieces at HD or Lowes. 4' x 8' sheets are more cost effective though

Seriously great work there.

Back in the 70's I built the Revell Cutty Sark model when I was with my first wife.She was baby sitting some child who thought it would be fun to pull off the rigging and break 2 of the masts. My wife at the time didn't think it was a big deal. I had some serious hours into the rigging of that ship. That and a host of other reasons is why their is a second wife now.

I know nothing of dioramas, but I do know wood. Wood tends to bow and twist over time. To help prevent this make sure it is dry and then sealed on all 4 edges as well as the top and bottom. I would guess a more stable product like dense foam board would work better than wood.

Beautiful idea and workmanship

Beautiful. You really nailed it.

real

So what's the final choice of front wheels gonna be ? I notice you keep going back and forth in your pictures.

For your 2nd model, it's looking very nice.

Hubcaps are most impressive.

hmmmmmm robot wives you say ? Off to google .........................

Looks nice and the under hood detail and bed contents are great. One thing that pops out at me though is the size of the spare tire

Wow, now that's something you don't see every day. I think you did a great job. Paint, design, detail it all looks real nice.

Things can be replaced, people not so much. Glad nobody was hurt or worse.

I think it's only available in resin.

96 suburban. I've been driving suburbans since before they were cool.
