  1. @prg5609: ...junk cars are a passion. Passions are -in most cases- not logical. Sometimes, when starting some models it "hurts" a little to junk them. But afterwards we love the result. You know, we have been building car models for a long time as show room stock cars. At some time we got bored and started trying new things. @dannyl: Thank you for your feedback! this is a long term project, I'm happy that you want to follow us! I had a look at your website. Very interesting stuff! We might order something...
  2. Hey guys, thank you for the great feedback! @ Jim Gibbons. Believe me, I know exactly what you mean. I got the news this week, from my uncle, that he sold the entire Grandpa's junkyard a few months ago. The crusher machines where there and they took everything away!! As the junkyard is 14.000 kms away from where I live now, I don't get there very often (last time 3 years ago). Luckily, during one of my last visits, I made an intensive professional photo session of the grandpa's junkyard. At least I have great pictures now. I will create a section for grandpa's junkyard in our website. We loved to play there (my brother, cousins and I). We will recreate some of the scenes of grandpa's yard in our model junkyard project. I'll keep you all updated.

  4. Hello guys, We have been working on the diorama the last weeks. We have a new car, a '34 Ford, and we were trying things out on how to make the base plate. Here you can see:
  5. Hi guys, here a new small update, the rear axle. I just couldn't leave the original rear axle that way in this scale! I hope you like it. The original: Improved:
  6. Hello guys! I'm sorry for the long absence. Summer, trips, lots of work, etc. I just couldn't continue with my Chevy. Also, I decided to build the gas pump that will be accompanying my Chevy in the diorama. So here you see a Tokheim 39 gas pump (my favorite of all times) 100% scratch build. It's not 100% ready yet. I painted all parts and put it with tape together just for the pictures. As the Chevy is going to be a junk car, the gas pump at his side should be a junk gas pump too. I still have to make the weathering and rust effects on it.
  7. Hi guys, thank you all for the great feedback! Here you have one more piece I've been working on the last days:
  8. Hi guys, This is one of my favorite projects. I already started it a while ago but for some reasons I just froze the model. This weekend I had finally time to continue with my Chevy project. We were working on our website the last weeks. It was a lot of work but it looks great now. Here you have some pictures: Pay attention, the window of the right door works. It goes up and down. I still have to build that door again as it is not as good as the left door. Trunk with rust holes: Here you see the front seat. The original seat is made out of two pieces (20 & 21). An awful thing for this huge scale. So I glued the two pieces together and cut them again in the real parts as it should be. And here you see the finshed job: Now it looks and it works like real!
  9. Well, you're right! In this case that's a great compliment! Thank you! Thank you! Here is one more picture of our work:
  10. Hi everyone! We are working on a huge Junkyard Diorama project (1/24), including lots of cars, a barn, a gas station, and lots of other stuff. My brother and I started a website to share our work with all junk fans. I invite you all to visit our Website, you can download some nice Wallpapers for free. You can also see some of our work in a new gallery I created on the forum as well! We are always happy to meet other model car fans to exchange ideas, tips, etc. Just mail us! Cheers, Seb & Iggy
