Nice Dio Tim 👍
Is the kit any good? Had it in my hands a couple of times, never bought it

Usual Tim attention to detail we mortals don't often consider, very impressive so far

Peter, I probably could! Thank you Munkey! Martin, so far it's o.k. I bought the distributer from my local shop, it was the right color and size. I have heard issues about the stripe , I'll find out. The 2 figures were half as much as the kit! After I finished the back drop and sized everything up I've decided to do a slight mod on each figure. Pics to follow when I get back home.

Stripes were off, I had others say they had issues too.

Ohh...the stripes made problems? On mine, they were a little bit challenging but the lay down nice.
I like your built background

You're a better builder than you give yourself credit for Tim. Engine detailing is top as always. Dio looks great.
Decals look like a lot of effort

The only effort on the decals was cutting that one! After figuring out what they were trying to do with the sides by lining them up with the door jam, then I adjusted the top one. Fyi Now that's the secret!? Alcohol!

Looks good so far 😉

I'm still trying to figure out how Buford made it out to LA and can still write the citation? I guess they're serious when the say " Don't mess with Texas!" Right Bob?!

I thank you kindly mates for the compliments! I'm glad to see others enjoy my imaginative creations!

Thank you all. I'm surprised at the response on this! To be honest I thought my Recent Zombieland build would've got more of a response than this due to current events! But at least everyone's trying to enjoy their time off now. Stay safe people.

Every time I watch that intro, I expect them to keel over the bottles in the alley. They never do 🙁
