This is my 55 chevy Sedan Delivery. I had planned on finishing it for the QLD NNL held earlier this year but time constraints prevented me from doing; well sort of. I decided to place it on a trailer and hitch it another 55 Chevy and place it in a small diorama. Time beat me with the diorama and I entered it as you see it here. I thought my H/C ribbon was pretty cool. The tow car was built over 10 years ago and was on the cards to be rebuilt as a four door nomad. The S/D is painted in Tamiya Bright Orange. I have installed four massive woofers in the back. I still haven't worked out the engine yet. The trailer is from the 73 chevy, I think.

Hey blatdriver I found the Pacman machine in EB Games it contained candy. You just don't know where you will find something like this. It only cost $5.00. Check out your local store they may stock them or check out the EB games website. Good luck.

Cool Blatdriver, I'm glad you found some. I like your idea of repainting them. How fondly I remember feeding these machines all of my pocket money and everytime I thought I was doing pretty good some guy with a mullet would hop on after me and blitz all of my high scores, I hated that guy. The possibilities are endless, I like collecting Jaws stuff so I might repaint one like the one on Jaws. Keep on building.

I did some looking, you can get paper models of pinball & arcade machines, made decals out of them and put them on card.

here is a link for some arcade ones

Hey Ray64 Nice pick up on my motorhead figures. I only paid $25.00 each for four guys and four girls from the states at Christmas, thanks Santa. They are not bad, their range is pretty good. I also bought some G scale figures unpainted from China, I'll add some of these as well to my diorama. Cheers.
