Nigel, Now that is something I have not thought of. I do have a few including a 1967 Chevy Fleetside I got from Bob.

Tom, Thank you. I guess it shows that if you put in enough effort and attention to detail, it just might turn out ok.

Dust yeah, well, It will be inside my display case. I just need to get better at keeping the door closed when sanding.

Bob, It has been disturbing me too. That is why I am psyching my self up for a batch of Ford builds. Your Mustang hood is on the left wall and the Ford logo is in the center if you hadn't noticed.

First On Race Day Guess that does make sense, Fords don't spend nearly the time in a repair shop a much as Mopar and GM products ! LOL ! But on a serious note, this is down right awesome Bill !

I'm gonna keep coming back to this. There's so much detail, it's too much to take in, at once! Many congratulations Bill, this is definitely something to be proud of!

I decided to upgrade my diorama with some LED lighting to improve my pictures of future builds.
I made a quickie mock up to see how they would work. While bright enough, I learned that I need to have some of them near the front edge to make the foreground light the viewer's side of any vehicles inside.

Thanks guys. The test only used 16 of 20 of the fixtures. I ordered some 6-32 mounting hardware last night and cut my lid this morning. I think I will need a bit of angle aluminum to stiffen the front edge and provide positive locating of the sides. Meanwhile, back to finishing up my Mustangs.

My hardware came so I got right to installing the LEDs onto the "ceiling". I soldered everything to keep from having issues. The lights are somewhat a "cool white" as opposed to a warm white. Live viewing it looks pretty good. For photos I think I still need some foreground lights. My super shiny floor may force me to add some sort of light diffuser like parchment paper.

Absolutely Stunning Bill! I was thinking about buying one of those old racing trailers - I see you probably used the parts but as a trailer what do you think?

I have two of the racing trailers. One is the Ernie Irvan one and one is the Bill Elliot one. Yes I did steal some of the interior parts for my diorama. My plan (way down the road) is to build one with all the goodies and one closed up. I want to set them up as two nostalgic front engine dragster haulers.
