That is very kick a$$!  If only I had the talent, but I don't.  Seeing how I don't I do have a suggestion.  Broken or cracked glass would be a cool detail along with missing or broken headlights, bumpers maybe that one car that was in a wreck.  How about adding a tear to the car cover, lord knows they always get ripped up.
Just some ideas.

Very, very nice.  I used to build and paint models for extra comic book money during my poor college years so I know how much work, talent and time went into that.

Broken or cracked glass would be a cool detail

I have thought about that myself.  The problem I see is that the glass in most models is way out of scale, so it would be hard to make it look "properly broken."  anybody have any ideas for how to do this?

Can you airbrush cracks?  Perhaps buy one of those "broken glass" vinyl clings people put on their car windows that look like a baseball went through it?

I know some guys have used modeler's glue.  The cyanoacrylic stuff.   As it dries it can get a little "stringy" and you can use the strings of glue to simulate cracks.  You can get the scale by stretching the strands to the desired size.  Takes some practice, but I've seen it done.  Just gotta take care not to craze the clear plastic and still have enough chemical reaction to stick the strand to the plastic.

    Wow--thanks for the compliments.  I hope I'm showing some improvement with each one I build. All suggestions and comments are welcome.  I like to experiment with different ideas and settings. I have been thinking of what to fill in the vacant spot behind the barn and tie it all together.  I am kinda leaning toward putting in   "Bentfender auto body" shop  with a chain link fence around the outside.  Maybe use this little item I build for my barn but it is a little to big.  Stay tuned!!!!
