Hi to all fellow modelers and enthusiasts. I love building 1/24 and 1/25 scale dios and models. I thought you guys (and gals) might like to see one of my recent projects. Its an old beat up Pro Street Chevelle complete with primered fender & door, faded paint etc.. Its placed on a scratchbuilt base to resemble an old back alley driveway or a return road at an old dragstrip. The file size is too large to add to this post but you can check it out my photo gallery listed under billy box. Thanks and I hope you enjoy.

Thanks much! That dio was a lotta work. I'll Post some pics of the Ford Falcon in the other lane real soon. The Nova is the shiney car and the Falcon was built as a backyard junker. I appreciate the compliment!

What's keeping the Nova front end up in the air? Can't tell on my monitor. Looks great!! :thumbsup: rr

There is a small hole drilled in the bottom of the base and a fine bead wire is run up through it and around the rear axle and then back through the base and twisted tight. You can position the car at almost any angle with this method plus its almost invisible. Thanks!
