Rusty White Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Ed, You're a man of many talents. I remember many of these. Especially the dio of the cop and the "lady". One of the really great dios in IPMS/USA history. You need to re-do the dio with a "flaming" cop and a guy pulled over.
Mark Aldrich Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 HAHA! My wife made a point of showing me the the "TWO FAST WOMEN" when we were there so it even impressed her!!!!
ewahl Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Posted October 13, 2012 Thanks, Rusty and Mark, for saying that you actually remember the Two Fast Women diorama. It's a bigger compliment that Mrs. Treadhead was impressed enough to make certain you saw it too. While only a small part of the overall larger scene, the two figures are what give it "life" and tell the "story" of the diorama. Here's a photo of them. The officer is a Jimmy Flintstone "Patty Patrol" resin piece. The offender is an R&R Vacuumcraft resin piece. The idea for the scene developed as I tried to identify a way to use the two of them together. I then built the two cars. The Shelby Series One is an outstanding Revell kit built OOB. The Ford Crown Victoria is a Lindberg snap kit with lots of work to improve it. The decals are aftermarket and adapted to fit the Crown Vic instead of a Chevy Caprice. The roadway and ground cover are all Woodland Scenics products. The sign was a scratchbuilt detail. I'm glad you liked it. Ed
