My other Hobby(Long read a lot of pics!)
Hey Guys
I thought you guys may get a kick out of this. Every April the town of Leesburg,Florida,where I live, has a Bikefest. Our sleepy little town of 20,000or so,blows up to 150,000 to 300,000 bikers. I share this with them so I figured I would share with you guys.
I am a vintage GIJOE collector. I built this Diorama about 5 years ago,for a GIJOE Convention. Since then once a year I pull it out of the shed.The City ask be to display it for the crowd.
I have always admired HO Train lay outs. Like a kid off his redilin, I would get bored with it so this the direction I took.This allows be to move stuff around and tell a diffrent story every time I set it up.I will shut up now and show some pictures. Give a few minutes to load all the pics before ya start bashing.

Great detail in the shop. I like the tools on the bench and stuff on the shelves. Nice work!

I was just looking in a Hemmings Classic Car magazine. There was a guy in there that made model cars but he made them look unrestored. Cracked windows, flat tires, faded paint, and dents, etc.
