Bonnie & Clyde 34' Ford Death car. Diorama shows the ambush. Car is lighted to show the bodies and the guns in the back seat.  It also has a sound card that plays the gunfire sounds and the song "The Story of Bonnie & Clyde" by Merle Haggard.  Shooter's guns have clear plastic stretched sprue, tinted with extra small clipped nail heads to represent the bullets.  Bullet holes are historically accurate as is the Arkansas license plate, since the car was stolen  from a person's home in Arkansas shortly before the ambush.

Somebody beat me to killer diorama, so I will simply say it looks like you had a blast constructing this infamous bit of history. I don't know what triggered your inspiration to build it, but I'm glad you did it. I'm really digging the stretched sprue used to create the muzzle flash. That's creativity of the highest caliber.
