I don't take enough pictures, but I should. Here's a couple that I took tonight. 1 of my GSX's, and a couple of shots of my "buddies" working hard on the '70 Street Machine.:TU: Enjoy!:TU::grin:
:laugh: I thought they might be appreciated. Even "scale" Buick projects are never done. Always adding to the scene. Or to the car. Or just adding MORE CARS! :laugh: I have about 20 unbuilt GSX's, so far (among almost 200 other GM Musclecar kits), to add to the display, eventually.:jd::TU: The Diecast display is ANOTHER story! ONLY GSX's!:eek2::jd: Winter is here, and now I have something else to keep me busy, INSIDE! (Building models!):bglasses: Some of the cars that some of these other guys build LOOK like REAL CARS! It's just cool that some guys actually put that much detail, and effort, into a car that will NEVER "RUN"!:laugh::TU:
Very cool! :TU: I thought the 3rd pic was real, until I saw the 4th pic. Then I had to go back up to #3 and look again. LOL :laugh:
Full shot please? Can we see a couple pix from farther away. Looks like a very impressive display. Nice job. :beer
There ARE jackstands under there!:bglasses: It's hard to see with the "shadows" and the "closeup", but they are there!:TU::grin: Adam, Thank YOU!:bglasses: It was YOU that inspired ME to start building my models again. When I saw your post "My New GSX", and I saw the responses that it was getting, I was motivated to build some more while I'm inside for the WINTER:gt: (Winter is depressing, because I have withdrawals from not being able to DRIVE my BUICKS in the snow, so my alternative is to BUILD MODEL BUICKS!:bglasses: ). GREAT JOB on YOUR GSX!!!:TU: Pat, I'd be glad to post a few more pics for your enjoyment.:bglasses: Actually, I started building this scene about 5 years ago (at least :grin: ), but I've moved a couple of times, collected more models (that aren't built yet, either), and a lot of other things that I've done in my life, and I still haven't finished it yet. Now that I'm "slowing down" with my schedule, for the winter, anyway (35, Self employed, basically "retired", except for being on call for my Part Time "Job" at the airport ), I'm actually going to build all the Tools and "accessories" for the display this winter, because I'm tired of looking at it only "1/2" done.:bglasses: More pics, coming soon...:TU:
Top View/shop front: Cool things: Garage HEATER!:bglasses: bench vice, spare battery under bench, Opening drawers on cabinets for tools, "Craftsman" Power tools (Black with Red triggers:laugh::TU: ), 2- 5 gal. oil drums under bench, 2- 5 gal. gas cans on shelves, Sport mirror on shelf, radiator hose on shelf, LAMBORGHINI poster on wall (as if you didn't know, I collect more Lamborghini stuff than Buick stuff, REALLY:TU: ), and I still have BOXES of OTHER tools and "spare" GSX parts that I've acquired, to use in this display. I'll get it done, soon, now that I've decided to MAKE the time to do it!:bglasses:
About the Car I used in this scene, it's the GSX Street Machine version, but I found and added some ALUMINUM AIR CLEANERS (meaning NOT "plastic":TU: ), a "wired" distributor (connected to each cylinder, even!), real RUBBER radiator hoses, METAL 6x9 Rear Deck Speaker Grilles. Details really make these cars realistic! I'm actually impressed that there's so much available for these "little" cars, just as if it WERE a real car.:bglasses:
