Dope....
Where's the barn? Just kidding. That's pretty realistic. When I first pulled up the link I thought I got misdirected because it looked so real.

I thought about doing this with a 67 shelby 350 kit I have two of. I have been building models for 45 years. Even for a few museums.

Now that's Cool Keith. I've been building models myself for about as long. I've got Mustang and Shelby models that I put away and I'm going to get back out to display once we get into our office. I even replicated paint marks, undercarriage detail etc, even back in the 80's, 90's.
Right now I'm building the huge 1/8 scale 67 GT500 by De'Agostini.
Well done diorama. I'm working toward my own on a desert highway. The roll of cork board arrived a couple days ago. Will need to spray paint it flat black and do the yellow lines. That 68 Shelby diorama is quite impressive.

I'm not into model trains but that would look so cool next to a model train set going around someone's garage or basement. Scaled down a bit of course...

I'm in my early 50's, but I bet a lot of you remember the Monogram Tom Daniels kits. I built a Boot Hill Express, made a small cemetary with a barren tree with a hangman's noose in it. You probably remember this one.
-Keith
Oh my goodness, LOLOL, you bet I remember that one. You remember the Old Monogram Red Baron
Kit? It's another Tom Daniels kit, I built that one way back in the 70's.
MAN, that has to rank up there in my favorites!!
How about the Plymouth "Cop Out"? Remember the whole front had to be painted silver and try to not to have paint past the part-line. Man, those are some GREAT times!!
I have six of these. The original tooling was lost in 1974. They re-tooled. last re-release was 2009. Another that stirred the creative side.

Lol, yea those were so cool!
Last year at our local flea market, I remember a guy had some models similar to these. I passed them up cause I'm more into cars/trucks.
I know the old saying, you better buy 'em when you've never seen them. So I made a promise to myself to buy ones I've never seen before!!
