A few of my displays at the RV/MH Museum have HO scale buildings (gas stations and Route 66 attractions) that add a touch to the 1:64 models on some of the shelves. I also have some O scale buildings stored away that I plan to use with my 1:43 scale models. One series that’s especially nice is from Woodland Scenics. And here’s one I have on order. It seems perfect to have some 50s wagons parked next to each unit.

WOW, does that take mw back! So realistic that it sparks my memories of back in the day. Fantastic work!

that is stunning Randy. May I respectfully suggest you also post these in the Handicrafts/Dioramas  forum, its been a bit bereft of posts lately, and it means those who may not view the 1/43 Forum can see them.

...the ability to have direct sunlight cast down on any diorama adds greatly to its realism. Woodland Scenics  offers countless structures that look exceptionally nice under these conditions.  So nice in fact, that any replica vehicles not able to hold up under this scrutiny will be quickly spotted & dismissed as "toys." 

I'm sure Randy would agree that when dealing with such beautifully scaled structures, such as these... one must bring their "A game!"    😉 😉

Guys, to be clear, this is an item I have on order and not something I’ve already set up. The photo comes from Woodland Scenics and it’s their master crafters who have finished out the idyllic scene. I only wish I had their skill and patience.
