"A happy life...is hobby life" Street Freak Torino

[goon]

Aloha all,

This is my latest completion. The kit is the Revell '76 Torino, done up in a Street Freak-style. The scratch built backdrop and details represent a longstanding local hobby shop. It was great fun building such a wild machine and figuring out how to replicate the model shop details and items.

Excellent detail!

The diorama is great! Excellent work on the car and I love all the little details you added.

I have to say this is a bit different but I really like it. Excellent work on all of it.

Hey, the sign says “No Parking”!

But, I guess, with a car like that, we can let it slide…

Excellent work on it! Impressive details. You’ve included the highest level of details of the mundane, everyday things like the ramp to the door and the AC condensation drain pipes - Things that generally go unnoticed in real life, finding their way to the diorama. I absolutely love the weathering, especially on the concrete and asphalt. Spectacular.

Thanks for the comments, glad you folks dig it. I realize the stance is a bit exaggerated, but I felt I needed to make use of those huge slicks. Here are some in progress pics.

Hi Russell!

Great theme, fine execution, bravo!

The TV show (Starsky & Hutch) might have run longer if the gentlemen had been riding YOUR Torino, instead of the red tomato... Who knows?

Love the street freak, but the diorama is impressing me even more! All the right grunge in all the right places, all kinds of attention to detail. Beautiful work.

And those itty-bitty Tamiya cans are killer!

Sweet . . .

Great looking Diorama.  That Torino has some serious meats on the back.  I like how this ole boy is parted right in a no parking zone.  Nice job.

Pretty wild and cool.
