Hello and welcome
Hi all!

1st of all big thanks to Texman who manually activated my account as there were some technical issues and it took a while... But in the end I can post

My name is Serge from Maidstone, UK (originally from Poland) and I'm sort of back to my hobby after many, many (perhaps too many) years. I can blame my younger son (age 13) for that as he asked for something extra for his Hot Wheels collection - meaning: dad, could you build me some sort of diorama for my models? Well... Why not? Let's give it a try... So it happened once, twice... Now I'm at number 6 or 7 I think, designing another two...

It is nothing special I guess, but my son loves them...

I've attached a little sneak-peek of one of them All designed from scratch... Scale 1:64 to match Hot Wheels and Matchbox models.

So once again... Hello everybody!

Thank you FRD. 2 more photos. One during building the interior, one when it's basically ready.

Probably at some point I'll create separate post about this diorama in Builds

More pictures... Well, first I need to credit my son and show you part of his Matchbox/Hot Wheels collection - first photo of his room attached. Nobody knows the exact number of his models but it is estimated for well over 1000 at the moment. Next photos are my diorama designs and builds for him. Las one is the one I'm currently working on
