mopar diarama...and models.

[fanofpetty]

I thought I would start a thread on model building of sorts....I'v been working on this for a while now, as some of the car shows I attend have an adult model contest, so I thought it might be fun to try my hand at it. I'm no pro at this, so tell me what you think. It's far from done as I need to add a lot more things, and want to weather it some, and I'm looking for some ideas, from those of you that build models. well...tell me what ya think, so far. ( I built this out of wood from scratch, with no plans ) oh, and please post your diaramas, and models too!

Thanks....well the theme here is because my father inlaw owned a chevron station around here in the sixties and seventies, and of course his name was Johnny. I decieded to mix his gas station, and a bunch of mopars because thats what I like. I know I still need to change the gas pumps to chevron somehow, and of course build me a few mopars to stick on it. For now, I just have a diecast car in the garage. I'm trying to find a source for large trees.
