I finally finished this after a lot of stopping and starting.

Outstanding model. I love the detail in your work. Is the cop trying to bust those rat-rodders?
What do you use for your base? Is that insulation foam?
I love it! I’ve always wanted to do something like this. Is it 1/87 scale or larger? I recognize some of the cars from my growing collection of 1/87 stuff. Nice job, Dave[tup][tup]

Thanks!
Its 1/87 scale.
The base is made from high density polyurethane foam. It’s used for sandblasted signs. It comes in different thicknesses and densitys. Its really nice to work with. It cuts and carves really easy, takes paint well. I found Gorilla glue holds it the best. I got it from a sign supply company. The company that makes it uses damaged sheets to protect the good sheets during shipping. Since it has dents and scratches in it and often broken edges they throw it out. Gotta love the free stuff!
Now that’s a GREAT Looking Dio

That’s great,I love it[tup]
Gives me some idea’s what to do with my growing collection of die cast VW’s.
Is the white one in front of the printers a Morris Minor?
Very nice dio! Since a printing company is front and center I must ask if you are a printer in real life? I am, so I notice stuff like that right away!
Bgrigg, in ‘real life’ I’m a model finisher. Honest, thats my job title. I worked in a couple print shops at one point in my life. I also worked in a hobby shop part time. The print shop where I worked didn’t pay enough to sustain life.
