The engine block is coming along well. I've got the push rods cut and the heads and rocker arms are coming together nicely.

Knocked out a couple of fuel cells to use as clutter for under the counter and finished up the tool box. Now time to fill it up with tools and "stuff".

Thanks guys! While paint is drying, I thought I would break out the scale ruler again and knock out a couple other styles of chairs for Maurice.

Guys, I have got to hurry and get this thing done. When I think I'm getting close, I keep finding and thinking of new stuff to add. LOL

I've had a project like this floating around the back of my brain for a while, but just never quite seem to get it started. This is incredibly inspiring, one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. Really puts things in context and I can see there will be a great story told.

You are very welcome 200MPH. I saw that stuff myself awhile back and had to get some, it is amazing casting. I have contacted him and I am trying to get him to do some shock absorbers, mainly the open ram type like the race cars use. That is a sorely needed item, especially for the darkside builds.
I look forward to more of the diorama, looking good! |
