A new project I'll be working on, a model scrapyard diorama, using vintage Dinky and Corgi toy cars

I am looking forward to that developing too. Scrapyards and workshops are great fun to do because you can't really get anything wrong. I scratch-built an Airflite caravan out of plastic card as a static office, 'fitted' with a stovepipe fire and a log for chopping other logs on! Sometimes, you can get carried away... The scrapyard is a great place for keeping models you don't really like but can't bear to part with - like you Ghia L64, which, if closely surrounded in due course, would barely be recognisable! I put a Range Rover P38 in a bag and drove my car over it after stripping and removing some of the components. A liberal coating of hairspray on the remnants, and with it placed carefully, and still tacky, on the garage floor, soon had it appropriately aged as I swept the floor around it!

Thanks for the encouragement, some great ideas there. I like the sound of what you did with the Range Rover, brilliant! I have a caravan for the diorama now, but it needs a bit of work. I'm thinking of other things to put in to add interest. I have a 1/50 scale dodgem bumper car that I might put in there too! I've bought a few cars for the scrapyard now too. Update video on the way...

I enjoyed demolishing the house! 😄 It's going to be a fun project for sure. My dad made some wooden toys for me and my siblings. He made a sit on and ride wooden lorry which is still in our garage. I'm hoping to restore it one day. Cheers Martin 👍
