cheyenne93 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 So, the wife got me this kit a couple of years ago. Thought I would take a break from auto building and try my hand, and mind at a diorama. The engine hoist and tool boxes are scratch built. Going to build a pair of ramps , an air hose real, just kind see where it takes me. Made my guys arms movable. As always input and comments welcomed.

Rotorbolt73 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Nice. I'm working on those same diorama kits too. I had considered making the arms moveable as well but didn't . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheyenne93 Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Got some more done on my diorama pieces. Painted tool boxes and cherry picker. Made what is supposed to resemble a bench grinder. How many garages have we bean in that had a grinder mounted on a post welded to a car rim for the base? Still working on some other things to throw in the mix. the nova is a 15 year old build of one of my oldest Bro's buddies 1:1 from back in the early 70s. I have allot of fond memories of watching him and his high school pals wrenching on cars. Well thanks for lookin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
