Just be careful , Eyepro is mandatory else you will get an eye poked out by diecast mustangs flying through the crowds.

I haven't built a car model in the better part of 45 years.

Recently a friend of mine visited the Shelby Heritage Center in Las Vegas, he posted a few pictures and how he was in heaven.

These are not his photos but essentially the same.

One day I was in checkout line at Lowes saw these three Cobra's. This thread and RKT's Diorama's inspired me to give it a try again. Here's what I came up with.

My brother-in-law passed away last week and he was a collector of Nascar diecast and had a lot of good stuff. We started collecting about the same time and we always got each other cars. I would always buy 2 of an item so I could give him one.
My sister and my nephew told me to take whatever I wanted from his collection so I selected a few cars that he got early on that were special to him. These are the cars I got.

Mark Martin Folgers T-Bird by Action.
Kyle Petty "protest car" bank by Action.
Dale Earnhardt Goodwrench Monte Carlo by Action. Got this one to sit next to the "protest car".
Darrell Waltrip Mountain Dew Buick by Action.
Richard Petty 1992 Pontiac Gran Prix by Franklin Mint.
Richard Petty Belvedere by Franklin Mint.
Richard Petty Superbird by Franklin Mint.

The Belvedere and Superbird are very dusty from sitting on a shelf for about 20 years or so. I really don't want to clean them and was thinking of putting them in a little barn or something, like a barn find diorama.

The only one I cleaned up is the Kyle Petty car. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...135fe5ef90.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ab8d8a18b8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...421d67c610.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a21dc81f41.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3ee7ff534a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...018fd66710.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...99d17075ba.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1202800774.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d0bef1e590.jpg

Thank you. My Dad passed away on Saturday February 5th, and my brother-in-law passed away two days later on Monday February 7th.

My Dad liked Hess trucks, so I also have two big boxes of Hess trucks in their boxes along with the bags and batteries.

Hobie sorry about your father and brother in law.
The cars from your dad and brother in law will be a nice way to reflect on them when you glance at the cars in your display.

HobieMarty 02-15-2022 08:19 AM

Thanks y'all. My Dad got me Hess trucks for Christmas for a few years so now I have duplicates of some, and he had some that I didn't have so my Hess truck collection has grown a bit larger now.
