I was having fun with this new diorama background, so in doing so, that meant bringing out some models that I wanted to feature. A couple are new arrivals, but most from my existing collection. I had so much fun that 27 models came out to play. Now, as picky as I am, some sets may not meet my standards, but most should. 

The 2nd group is a Goldvarg model issued in 2022. This model, as simple as it is, is a "very special" model to me. It was a gift from Sergio and one that I treasure.

1961 Mercury Comet Sedan, in Turquoise Mist w/a White Top

1961 Mercury Comet Sedan T0
1961 Mercury Comet Sedan T1
1961 Mercury Comet Sedan T4
1961 Mercury Comet Sedan T5
1961 Mercury Comet Sedan T6
1961 Mercury Comet Sedan T7

PS - I am currently going through some old car magazines for an appropriate poster to replace the one in this diorama.

I have the Comet in both colors but like this one best.

John, these pics are OUTSTANDING.  I absolutely love that background.

Very nice indeed John.  I would like to see Sergio do a 2dr. version of that Comet.
