Amazing. I could do that, in my lifetime, but not nearly as well.
The time and patience is unbelievable. Do these people have a life? Maybe if some of us got off the computer we'd have time to do something useful like this.
Or not!!!!!!!!!

 

This forum is almost as addictive as the wagon-habit itself.

 

Most of those 1:24 models in the dioramas first pictured are not available as normal kits. Those are either very detailed promos, or (most likely) resin casts.

 

Very cool models and dioramas are a great way to display them..
I have often done models of my full size builds to help me with design. Most are diecast or plastic and at least 1/25th scale or smaller.
My Avitar is a model of a 66 Malibu Custom 2dr conversion Wagon that I am building.

 

RMay you are one of those guys I hate! You can do anything and do it well.

 

I can only aspire to something like that. The last time I attempted a car model done differently than the box was a Nova police car kit that had been smooshed, so the guy sold it to me for 25 cents. I attempted to do it up as a rollover crash. Meh.

 

I started a lot of car models. As far as I can remember the only one I finished was a 1931 Model A coupe. I even had spark plug wires, the small amount of factory type wiring and as many details as I could add. The reason was I was also building my first real car, a 1931 Model A coupe.

 

These are amazing pictures Tedy, thank you for sharing them. I thought this was an interesting picture...



Look how organized all the little parts are, this folks is a professional modeler. I also noticed the trophy in the back ground, I wonder if it was for his/her models?

Nice find Tedy.

 

You really should give the builders name Teddy. It gives credit to the masterful build and... being that I am in that hobby, I might know him.
The first looks like Ken Hamilton but not quite, as I know all his work.

 

There were no names attached to any of the model builders, was just a random bunch of pics in a link

 

My favorite is the 71 Vista with OAI hood! I would LOVE to have a 72 in 1/24 scale.

 

Some of you might have seen these and for duplication I apologize.
1948 Ford Country Squire built from the IMC model kit using bass wood for panels.



This is built by Stan Ulrich, a master modeler in my model club who built it based on a drawing I did for Model Cars Magazine using the Tom Daniel "Pie Wagon" as a basis.


Here is my rendition of Revell's 1957 Ford Country Squire kit built box stock and shot of the stock kit in-the-box on the hood of my 1958 Ford Ranch Wagon.



Here is a 1936 Ford wagon built using an AMT 1936 coupe kit using basswood and model aircraft plywood.

 

I noticed a 65 Vista Cruiser on the used car lot. The detail on the asphalt is amazing - variations in color and cracks.

 

All of this is very cool, I had no idea this was a thing!
