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. :smiley2:

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.
