Awesome! it seems that the dealership's business is booming 👍 I really like the interior decor of this dealership, the wood paneling really gives a 70s, early 80s vibe. Prayers and wishes for your wife's speedy recovery!
That sounds great ! I have 50s,60s and 70s Chevy's in ho slot car's as well as Ford and Dodge! My plan is a Cross between the movies used cars and Hollywood knights with a hint of the Andy Griffith show for the diorama
Your diorama is so realistic and period-correct that I'd bet it's taken place in the late 1960s. 1969 was the heyday of the American automotive industry, and luck is on your side if you like it. Why? There are so many die-cast models representing cars from that era that you can choose from. And many of which shine on your street and parking lots. Indeed, your video pushed me to catalog all my die-cast models on a spreadsheet to see how many I own and what is their most frequent year. It turns out it's 1984, although I have an even number of cars from the early 1970s through the late 1990s, peaking in 1979, 1982, 1987, and 1992. Yes, I do love Malaise-Era roadboats as well as your typical shitbox from the late 80s/early 90s. The mainstream couldn't care less about them, though. You'll never see Johnny Lightning making a replica of a Geo Metro, VW Fox, or Plymouth Reliant. Instead, you'll find plenty of rare vehicles, like a Buick GNX or a Ferrari F40. But that would make my whole diorama untrue if I filled it with them. After all, if you could stroll on an American streetscape of 1990, you would see boring and mundane cars for the most part. It's all I need for my diorama. That's why I can't help myself when I see a new release of a die-cast model of a 1984 Dodge Caravan, a 1989 Ford Taurus, or any woodie wagon. But a Ferrari? Nope, I'll almost always pass on that.
@@acmesdiorama9301 Thanks. I still have a few 1/18 Motormax models, but I never knew they were also in the 1/64 scale segment. Seems cool. The AMC Pacers look cute. Unfortunately, those are not available in my country, and if I ever purchase them on eBay for, like, $ 6.99 each, it will cost me around $ 43.99 each in the end. Not good.
Awesome layout! Will put you and your wife on my prayer list.
Thank You, we hope to have her home soon
I am your biggest fan Tom,Prayers and blessings ❤
Awesome! Thanks so very much!
