Porsche Diorama...
Just thinking I haven't posted photos of my dioramas in a long time.
I've lost track of how many I've built but average around 6 or 7 a year and I've been doing them for 30 years.

This one is a 1/24th scale

When I saw the post, I thought, "it's been a long time since those cool dioramas have been posted, cool!"

THis one does not dissappoint.

Wow!

Amazing work, Rob! You certainly found your passion. What do you do with them after you're done?

There are some things available. Years ago Fujimi produced a "garage & tools" kit that had things like a tool chest, floor jack etc. Occasionally there will be one on eBay and I will grab it.
There is a guy that 3D prints some things for me too but most of the things are scratch built from basswood or styrene.

They range from $300 up. The largest and most detailed one that I've built sold for $2900.

I am currently working on a couple commissioned dio's for clients.
I don't have a website or advertise. When someone buys one their friends come by and see it and say "where did you get that?" And I get another job!
