Model Cars / Diaroma Web Site
This web site may have been posted here before. It's http://www.scalemodelingbychris.com/page_two.htm/. Chris (not me) builds beautiful model cars for customers (check out the gallery). I have purchased 4 from him thus far. He is currently working on #5. My problem is I live very close to his office and I can't stop (help me)!!!!!!! He also builds dioramas and sells diorama pieces that he has fabricated. Check it out for yourself. Watch it though. You may get hooked like me.
OUTSTANDING SITE! Lots of things to look at, purchase, get ideas from.
The answer to many of our prayers - inexpensive dioramas (At least for the basic model, what is added later is up to the customer) that can be put together over time. Thanks for the info. I plan to go back and spend more time looking around. Well worth a look, folks.
Slight correction to the web site http://www.scalemodelingbychris.com/page_two.htm
Although this site claims copyright ownership of all items produced, or the copyright owner's permission to produce, that is not necessarily so. Be careful out there....
I've purchased several of the diorama tools, license plates, ....
magazines, books, antifreeze/oil containers, brooms, decals, boxes etc. from Chris and everything was first class. He used to list these accessories as available in either kit form or painted and assembled on the website but I haven't seen the painted and assembled versions listed lately.
I emailed Chris and asked if he still sold them painted and assembled and he said he did as time permitted (this was a year ago) and gave me a quote via email (very reasonable, I might add) for what I wanted. I ordered via email and paid through PayPal. The diorama accessories he made were perfect and far better than I could have made myself.
