I scored these two Boss 302s 1:64 Hot wheels and also bought a 70 Chaparral Camaro, 70 Posey Challenger and just got a Gurney Barracuda. I did some research on creating diorama asphalt and it's quite an art. Anyone else create dioramas? I'd like to display it on my desk having them going into a turn on a road circuit...Parnelli in the lead of course. And then switch them around every once in a while.

Cool idea.
That's a great photo you took there deathsled.
Here are some of the Trans-Am die cast cars that I have.
Post some pics of your diorama when you start on it.

Wow! That's an amazing collection! I will post once constructed for sure!
Best regards,

I collect Mustang/Shelby/Boss/Ford miniatures myself. I have a couple thousand collection.
I often wondered if anyone here liked/collected mini's.
I build also and I think it's Richstang that builds some high detail 1/24 scale.
Hope he chimes in ;)
A diorama of Turn 8 at Laguna Seca would make an amazing display piece for your cars. An amazing turn and the scene of some great bouts between Ford and Chevrolet.The 2.5 Challenge wasn't bad either!
I will look into it (turn 8 at Laguna) and see what I can do. (Speaking of which, I took my dad's Laguna out today for a short drive. Amazing car!) Never made a diorama before but it looks like fun. You are never too old to have a happy childhood.
You mean this turn I take it...

We'll get us one of those shirts like Jordan Hembrough of the Toy Hunter show wears,
"Still Plays with Toys" ;D
"Toys big and small...I play with them all." I'll put that on a tee shirt. Likely make the ladies mad...
The only difference between men and boys is the price of the toys! ;)

That's it, three flights down through the corkscrew.

Sounds familiar. My die-cast collection is completely out of control. Someday soon, I need to purge some if it.
1/25 - 1/24 scale models are another whole story. I only did one diorama when I was about 11 year old. I think I posted those photos on the old forum.
A diorama of Laguna Seca's corkscrew turn would be Very Cool to see with some of these T/A miniatures!
Adelbert from Belgium (Mustang Garage) has reserved as well a part of his 50m glass shelves for the T/A section.
