Automobile help for diorama...

[Lee]

OK, so I've never done a diorama before but, saw this picture tonight and thought that I would love to have a go at this.....



It's an awesome picture and would make an awesome dio and would seriously test my skills whilst learning a multitude of new ones. I want to make this a long term project and to spend a long time getting it right. Only problem is I don't know what make and model the car is! Can anybody help me?

I'm sure what ever it is there will be a model available, in the states anyway....

Thanks in advance

Looks to be a 1950s Chevrolet Pickup

I think it is Tow Mater from the movie Cars.

That will be awesome if you can pull this off as a diorama Lee.

[Tonygol]

This too.

Roger, I'll see if they've got any.

[chief5437]

Lee, soz mate, didn't get into town today. But I'll be going after work tomorrow so I'll have a look then.

Cheers

The Modelzone in Cardiff is still open, but not sure for how long though, at the moment it's 50% off tools and paint, and 20% off plastic kits, but will be a bit of a grab bag with what you can get.

[Lee]

Cheers chief, much appreciated bud

[chief5437]

Lee, I've been to modelzone and hobbycraft, but no luck I'm afraid. Theyre the only model shops in Hull, and they've got very limited stock at the mo.

Soz mate.

[Lee]

No worries chief, thanks so much for trying bud
