(Pics) Accessories for Displaying with 1/64 Scale Cars and Trucks

One of the nice things about 1/64 scale model collecting are nice sets of readily available accessories (people and other stuff) for dioramas. American Diorama and Greenlight are good starting points. Several years ago, I also purchased many figures from Artista, but only use a few of them. Other than Ebay and some S scale model train sellers, I do not know sources for 1/64 scale Artista items. I purchased my American Diorama and Greenlight items from Diecast Direct, but I expect they are available from other diecast sellers. Now for some pictures. American Diorama sells sets with a theme with people and sometimes some related items. Here are photos of three different sets, front and rear of package. The rear shows an example scene, if you add a vehicle. So far, I have not removed these items from their packages. Campers Tailgate Party Mail Service Greenlight often adds one or two persons to their car models. Artista typically sold each person separately. The following pictures show my use of people from these three companies creating mini-scenes at the drive-in restaurant on my S scale train layout. The lady serving the food is an Artista figure and the man on right is from American Diorama. Typically for Artista and American Diorama figures, I glue a piece of 0.25 square inch clear plastic to feet so they stand. The 1955 Desoto and 1954 Mercury are from M2. The two people in front of the car are from Greenlight. Each person came with his/her own base. The car is a 1959 Corvette from Greenlight. My last picture show two folks admiring a 1935 Duesenberg SSJ Speedster. The car is from Racing Champions.

Chris, I'm thinking it's a good thing we don't live close to each other as we would probably be more dangerous than we already are. Over 400 cars? You got me as I have owned just over 100 many of which were parts cars both pre war and post war. In addition to my garage we also have a two car carport for our daily drivers. My model car collecting these days is mostly 1/43 and 1/64 scales as I have no more space left for 1/24 and 1/18 scales...truth be known I don't have space for them either.

Because I'm originally from the midwest, the majority of my railroads are Missouri Pacific, Santa Fe, Union Pacific and Burlington Northern and Illinois Central. I have always liked the paint schemes on the Pennsylvania and Chessie so I have a few of them also.

@chris Thanks for showing some of your N-gauge road vehicles. This is quiet a collection in itself.
