Well being from a ho scale train background i feel the need to do a scene. So im staring with this tamiya tire changer a custom painted Chuck Augest body. I think a veiw of the pits will look cool.

Wow, that's a sharp bit of lexan!!

I can't wait to see what you come up with. Nice collections of old parts

wow,thats very cool

Make it shine, Ryan.

Thats awesome, cant wait

What you need to finish it off is this set:

Yeah i found the mechanic and the crew chief tizeye on the bay yesterday i hope i can score them. Thats a sweet set i just think seeing all my cars done its a injustice putting them on the floor i like the whole musuem display idea.

The picture above is from a current auction here in New Zealand...is this the set you are talking about? http://cgi.ebay.com/Tamiya-1-20-F-1-Racing-Pit-Team-F1-Crew-For-Lotus-etc_W0QQitemZ370295929330QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item56375b79f2

If you look closely at the box above it says 1/20th will that work..half of 1/10th..

No i saw that to just to small

Cool idea.
Love the paint on that body too....

little progress on the car the diorama has been built three times already Just not sure what i want.

Wow, that's cool.

Where on earth did you find a Chuck August painted body??? Chuck was one of the fast guys when I started racing in 1978. What a character! He wore a rebel hat most of the time, announced/organized races, and was a member of the infamous "Barbary Coast Sweats" racing team. He painted a lot of custom bodies, did a great job with USA flags and candy apple red paint. I think one of his waving flag paint jobs is on one of Associated's gas kit boxes.

Didn't the weight saver 12E car come with a fiberglass radio tray?
