Man that is cool, and it is what looks like a small enough show case to pretty much put it anywhere.  What size is the show case?

It was a football display case like you can buy at Michaels. It was in the closet collecting dust, so I actually built the diorama around the case.

Thanks for the compliments folks!  :)

Thanks again for the kind words. Even though it can't be seen, I detailed the Ford's engine down to the spark plugs. Everything is scratch-built except for the car.  I've always been hesitant to display my builds; they can't compare to some of the work I've seen on here (I've lurked for a while).  :)

That is a spectacular build! I can see all the attention to detail that just makes it all seem real without shouting in your face.

X2.  Outstanding diorama.  And there's nothing wrong with modesty.  Too little of it around these days I'm afraid.

One of the most time-consuming parts of the build (yet almost the most relaxing) was making the hundred or so Mason jars, complete with metal lids and bands. The car is loaded with full crates and there's an open one on the front seat.   :)
