Dan Gurney AAR Cuda pit area.

Most of the reference pictures I saw for building the truck and trailer were at different race tracks. I started my project with just building the truck and one car but I was able to get the decals for the second car for Swede Savage so I decided to go with both cars. I have not done a diorama before but I wanted to sometime and as I progressed with my project kept painting accessories that I had in my parts boxes and decided this would be my first diorama. I have a WIP for the building of the truck and trailer and also a WIP for both cars. I’ve had a lot of fun building this. Your comments are welcome and appreciated.

Wow, there is a lot packed into this scene!  Very cool.

That diorama turned out excellent, great job.

Really nice work. I like how the concrete was done - not uniform in texture or color, just like the real thing. Can't wait to see this at the HAMS show in July.

For a first time diorama you nailed it! Everything from the base to the accessories to the work being performed is perfectly done. Cars, truck, everything. Nice job!

[slusher]

[cobraman]

Thanks Mike. I’m going to need a lot of time to set up all models I’m bringing to the show this year .

Thanks Tony I was able to use several old pictures of the truck at different race tracks and made my own.
