Funny, that still looks familiar! As a newbie to making dioramas, that looks great.

Well thanks you guys, a pretty prompt reply to my latest efforts, thanks.

Cheers guys! That was quick!

I'm a newbie at diorama's so bear with me if it's not up to a terrific standard seen on some threads on this site. This a two piece resin casting made by Scale Production in Germany of a 'Backstreet Garge, possibly in France, Belgium, Holland or Germany. They also have other dio's plus a miriad of resin parts and accessories. I have painted and rubbed back different ares of the casting, adding a tiled ground area, window, shutters,moss and sand to complete the scene. I have also added a shop truck although it is American!

This is one I bought last year. Then added Ken Block Mexico Rally 2010 decals by Colorado. Superb kits, every detail, on par or better than Tamiya, this kit was around £35. Plus two other superb kits they made.

Yes Jay, they are beautiful. We have a 1:1 kit car manufacturer here in the UK , Hawk who are and have been turning out replicas for some years. Some self builders have even put Ferrari engines in them!

Thanks Stephen.

I looked on your fotki pages and I see BARC comes up! It reminds me of when I started Race Marshalling at Silverstone in the UK in the mid '70's with the British Motor Racing Marshalls Club! Most of your pictures are just what we had to train for, although I did my first work on spectator and paddock marshalling for 2 years or so every weekend from March to October! The rest of my 27 years was spent on Airfield marshalling on small fixed wing, Cessna's and the like for 10 years and then we changed to helicopters as most of the hospitality and race personnel were coming into the larger airports and flying to us by 'copter. We had two unofficial World records for the most movements (landings and take-offs) in one day, We still had the odd race meetings (mainly classic car meetings) with small fixed wing aircraft ( first and second world war planes as well) and hot-air balloons. Also our eldest son lived in Winnipeg for a time and would meet up with us in Toronto now and again. He now lives between Edmonton and Calgary running his haulage company, travelling from Vancouver to New Mexico and most everywhere else throughout Canada and the USA.

Yes they are UK based about 7-8 miles from here! Very busy building all kinds of trailers of very high quality!

Yes! Another rally car I saw very often as a rally marshall in the day.

Nice.................very nice!

Well done it looks great. I made the Toyota 86 version about 12 months ago, nice kit.

Yes the price is bad so not for me!

That looks good Darren, with the wide arches on it! I've just had this come from Heller HQ to have a go at. It might have a camo paint and centreline or wire wheels.........

Through ebay here in the UK, with a pretty good discount...........

My Type H van was delivered yesterday, direct from the Heller factory. So I'm now looking at various Matt finishes, with centreline or wire wheels!

Just arrived direct from the Heller factory in French France................... It may be in Matt Grey/Matt Green or another Matt finish, it also may have Centreline or Wire wheels. I haven't yet decided on the body decals but tyre decals definitely!

I've just had an email from Heller the van is on it's way!

I love the Nascar's Kevin, well done and welcome back!

Yes I've just ordered one direct from Heller! Same problem, that's my order of builds for 2016 up the creak! But I'm still looking forward to getting it, especially as I have just finished the 2CV Fourgonnette.

Looks good Gerry, another I have on the shelf that I haven't yet got around to building!

Yes I know the 2CV Fourgonnette, I've just finished one! Nice kit and it's in the light trucks thread..

An interesting addition to the Heller range! I've just ordered from Heller the Citroen Van 'HY' (Corrugated Van), so I'm waiting to see how long it takes to come and possibly order the Mehari. Someone living near us had one imported in the day, it was odd to see it 'bouncing around everywhere'!

Cheers Stephen, happy new 2016!
