Found these two figures by Nuts Planet and finally figured out where to use them. A back alley in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The wall was made with AK interactive carving foam, the debris came from a variety of sources. The car is from Takom. Graffiti is also from AK.
The door is too big. Somewhere along the line, I got careless and switched the Murphy's rule around and accidently used the 1/32nd side when measuring. Well, Duh!

It has always annoyed me we can't show this sort of thing at a National contest. Talk about white washing history, it's okay to have the SS killing Russians, but show Auschwitz inmates and somehow that is a threat to the sensitivities of others and their children.

You thought this was going to be a Star trek scene, but it is a pair of Nazi SD guys raiding resistance members putting up posters. The Figures are from D-day, the car Tamiya and the kiosk from Custom Dioramics. The pigeons are Miniart along with the streetlamp and bench. The pavers and sidewalk are all done with grout.
The Paris uprising began on August 18th.

Did we really have those sippy style coffee lids in 77? Is the cup from Caribou?
Yes, I already caught that after it was done. But You can't judge the coffee cup in straight up automotive, only in dioramas.😁 Actually, the cup logo came from a sheet of NYC logos. I have no idea what it is, but it looks good.

DEF out of Korea makes the figure. She comes in 4 different scales. You can get them from Sprue Bros.

This is an old Verlinden figure and a full body bag from a bootleg maker. The 101st patch came from an old IPMS contest sheet, back in 1982, I think. Painted with enamels. An old friend and former IPMS member, Jerry Taylor, was a medic with the 101st in Vietnam. He was the inspiration for this vignette.

Thanks Mark. Somewhere down the line there will be a Journal article on the vignette.

This is the Fujimi 1/24th kit. I had started it back in 1986 and only got as far as starting to paint the body. I found it in the garage stash last month and decided to finish it.
Added some Porsche manuals to the interior along with keys in the ignition and an air freshener. The figure is from DEF.The kit does not live up to how good it looks in the box

The model looks better than it is. I had a number of problems which don't show up in the pictures.

Some years back, I had the chance to look a a genuine nascar racer close enough to touch, which I did. At that time, all the stickers were just that, stickers. You could feel they. Not smooth at all. I know now things are different with wraps and such. I remember one race I glimpsed part of and there was a bumper sticker flapping like a flag.

I like the weathered look. Gives it more life and less of a toy look.

But then Picasso and Rembrandt aren’t being taken out in the rain. 😉
