The stratos one make me feel good :)

I've tried numerous times over the years to try to build rallying dioramas and NEVER managed to not make it look as if someone just parked the car up :(

If anyone ever sees a modeller successfully recreated the "movement" in a rally diorama please pm me a link. Ta.

I've seen a few of the crash diorama and besides the demonstration of the skill of the modeller I've never quite seen the point as I dont' find the end result aesthetic.

German guy does some superb looking more European garage look ( nobody over here has painted floors and pristine white walled garages unles they're either Japanese or selling only top-end cars :) ) Certainly my garages have always looked more of the "long-term-worked-in-lots-of-old-bits-kicking-about".

here's some of his work I kept to spur me on to do better :)
Having spoken to a professional garage diorama builder at Autsport show, once they decide to make it a business it's a lot easier. He talked about making his first stripped gearbox for the bench and how long it took and now he casts/etches the "kit" in batches of 100 in a fraction of it !!

www.factor24.com - expensive though. It takes the guy about 6 weeks to make one !!!!

I've got some business cards from guys too I'll try and find them (!) and post.
They are a LOT cheaper ( but less quality, accuracy and parts ) than this one.

There are now lots of small compaies doing resin parts for these too, a quick google found http://www.scalemodelingbychris.com/diorama.htm , http://www.scalemodelingbychris.com/accessory.htm look for "car garage diorama" and you'll find lots.

None of those cars posted are made by Tamiya, most of it looks like 1/18 scale diecast.
