Finally finished this diorama. All I must do is make two bobble head figues of Tim & Fuzz, already in the making on my 3D printer. The renovated one was a lot harder to build that the scrap one. First, I had to build the internal panels inside as well as windscreen wipers and wing mirrors etc. I really do need to start making larger scale cars, 1/32 scale is too small really to get any detail and these kits are not the best. Still, I only paid £10 each for them and the rest diorama and bases were all 3d printed. I have also added a link for a short video. https://youtu.be/nr3N32Nkca4Anyway, here are some pictures, minus the two guys. Markwarren attached the following image(s):

Many thanks for the comments guys, very much appreciated. @Trev I will be going another 1/32 scale car at some stage as I’ve got a resin Mini Moke. Still unsure what theme it will be yet. Mark

Many thanks Chris. I’ve done the final piece to this diorama, I’ve made Fuzz & Tim. These were printed on gloss card, glued on plastic card to make them more rigid and made the base with my 3D printer. Mark Markwarren attached the following image(s):

BTW, does anyone know where to get some decent glass model cabinets from, looking at chest of drawer size. Most of my models are in cases, just thought a cabinet would be a good idea and cheaper in the long run? Many thanks Mark

Mark With all the small businesses and shops closing down due to Covid, maybe one of these might have a display cabinet that meets your needs?

Mine came from Lidl a couple of years ago - about £75 each. The smaller wall cabinets were around £30. roymattblack attached the following image(s):

Amazing end result. The dio base is also excellent and sets up the two versions of the car very well. So what`s next?  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Thank you Derek. First I’m finished the X-Wing which I’ve been preparing for several weeks, then I look at what takes my fancy. I have a very large stash of models small and large. I’ve also done anther little video of the two cars together. https://youtu.be/DljQYwM6B8gMark
