Here's the latest Davetown diorama. I'll put a slide show of the entire build together in a day or two.

Whimsical, amusing,  and creative; very pleasant to view, Dave. I can't help but smile, while looking at the details. Any moment, I was expecting Gromit or Wallace to appear.

Very cool! Love the penguin and the rusted out car and junk behind the chainsaw repair.

Ooh ;

This is awesome .Question ? Did Dave take the engine out of the 53 Stude ? I absolutely love it . Will you think about donating it to the New Braunfels,  Texas Rail Road Museum  ?  Naw , I am kidding , but that is gorgeous !     T.B.

Okay ;

  So you're telling me that straight laced Dave was a wild one on race weekends ? Cool . I do have a really serious question though . How did you shrink down my Riviera ? I thought it was still in storage .

    Do you have a shrink ray ? I have a Kia Sedona I would like to shrink and park next to our model of our Station Building .

 The question on the Riv is because my car is exactly those colors !  Still luv that dio man ,Oh , can you sharpen my chain saw while I am here ?

    Also , Where did you get a red Evinrude ( I call them Always- Rude ? ) One more thing  .Did you re-locate the brick building between set-ups for the camera ?

Actually the Studebaker belongs to Ed Wertz. He's the guy in the green hat talking to Earl Schmootz. Ed and Earl have been buddies since grade school. Ed owns the speed shop. Earl owns the salvage yard.

Me and my wife are standing by the Riviera. The Riviera is made my Neo. It was my expensive Christmas present. It's totally awesome, the detail is amazing.

That is my 2012 Fiat on the tow truck going down Main St. It has serious suspension issues.

The outboard motors are from JL Innovative. They came with the boat and trailer along with some other cool boat stuff.

I didn't change any of the buildings around. The buildings are glued to the base with big blobs of silicone. its just shooting pictures from different angles,

If you drop your chainsaw off I can sharpen it and we'll put it in the Kia and we can use my shrink ray and shrink both of them at once,

The rear of the chainsaw shop looks disturbingly like my back yard.
