I've mentioned many times, "I sweat the small stuff!" With every project, I try to improve.... if I'm not great, I'm just good. "Good" is OK, but.... There's always someone to admire. To that that end, here's a bit of inspiration the next time YOU create a 1/18 diorama, or backdrop for your models. This guy's got the gift. 😏 🤨

I will say this.... although I still can't bring myself to purchase a 1/18 sealed resin, they DO seem to photograph better than "gappy" diecast jobs.
Slick paint, crispness of the lensing, and scale seems & gaps REALLY help in these circumstances. I'm not certain too many full-function diecasts could've pulled off such a convincing illusion as well as this BOS resin Fleetwood. 🤔 🤨
