Back to my dioramas.
« on: October 10, 2010 - 01:43:09 PM »
  While getting my cuda back together I did'nt have much extra time to build any models or displays. Been wanting to build some thing  for a while now so I started this .  Instead of an old barn this will be a nice 2 car garage for the average Saturday night wrencher.  It will have a stripped down 71 cuda parts car on the side---some guys pulling the motor out of a 71 project car inside the garage. On the other side I will have a large tree with a car parked underneath it below a branch with a come along hanging from the branch.  A shade tree mechanic.    :D    Here's a few pics of the start.  More as I move along...      Doug

I'll go VERY VERY COOL!  Seriously, you've got some serious modeling skills.  I used to, but its been 10+ years since I completed a model, although I have picked up a few since then....
