Complete: Viper Garage Diorama

ok. Let me start with the story behind this one. it was actually planned for my father's birthday in december, but i got it finished in time for father's day. The first model i ever did was a viper r/t 10 and i did it with my dad. in the same color pictured here. i decided i wanted to build a replica of the original. and this is the finished product. I neglected undercarriage detail, for obvious reasons. the kit is revell viper. i added some minor detail...notice the windsheild washer fluid. Next came the tool box, tire dolly, and jack stands, a la motoworks set. the spare parts and the motor on the test stand all came from the original kit we did. i added plug wires to the engine on the test stand, since it would be visible. let me know what you guys think. questions and comments welcome.

Re: Complete: Viper Garage Diorama

that motorworks kit is pretty neat. the jack stands are actually adjustable, i was surprised when the doors for the war chest opened. it makes a great addition to this set up, or anything similar
