Just for fun...

This project was plagued with problems...mainly paint compatibility. However, done and now I move on to the base and back wall!

Thought I'd give you a sneak peek!

Cute. How big is a 1:24 bag of ice anyway?

It was originally made by Scale Equipment Ltd.

Ric had done a complete used car dealership. I'm actually using a front facade for a bar diorama, too!
He has had some health issues and is no longer making these items. Currently selling off remaining stock.

Amazing detail!

I really enjoy seeing other's diorama stuff. Did you make the decals?

Yes, all the vertical “ICE” decals and those on the bags.

The originals were horizontal. I scanned in the ordinal sheet as it was very old. That being said, the decals up top are originals. They held up quite well!
I am documenting this build for a column feature!
