Tough enough for Pink---more model fun!
« on: December 23, 2009 - 04:48:00 PM »
  A couple of weeks ago the temp. went into the negative range so any work in the garage stopped.  So I went back to my model bench and did a few builds. I had to do these pretty fast as a couple had to be done by Christmas.  Here's a start.  We have a local rodeo here that has a tough enough for pink night to benifit breast  cancer awareness. All the macho cowboys ect wear something pink.  I got to looking at my models and I did not have any FM3 models at all so I did the superbee. I will add it to the shed in my street racing dio with a farmer standing beside it --smileing at what he has hidden behind closed doors.    :smokin:    More when that gets done.   The little dioramas I did for some christmas presents.  I am going to try different ground cover to get more of a farm field look with abandoned cars/trucks in them.  Like I said these were done quickly and are not quite done with the little details yet but I thought I would share  what's done . I'll post them in two replys to split them up a little.

   Here's the dios I did for some gifts. I had some base material that I bought in a wrong size than what I like to use so I am going to burn it up experimenting with different looks.

They look great as usual....    :cheers: 

I used to have an A-990 '65 Coronet Hemi Race car back in the day.  I sold it for twice what I had in it and thought I had hit the lottery...  lol That is miniscule compared to what it would bring today....     :walkaway:  Oh well, if we only knew back then........     :cooldancing:
