I'm not even a racing fan and I can feel the excitement just looking at these dioramas! If I had lots of money and even more time, I'd have a diorama for every model in my collection! You do superb work Jerry and your grasp of the history is impressive. On a side note, think you will like my latest posting, but it does not have a diorama

Every time I see the Ecurie Ecosse transporter I am taken back to August 1964 when I attended a motor show at the Royal Scottish Showground on the western outskirts of Edinburgh. The BMC Princess 4 Litre R had been announced that week and was on display at the show. I photographed it for posterity. In the background of the photo was the Ecurie Ecosse transporter complete with one car (Tojiero Coupe) on top. I have seen the real life combo a few times since then including another occasion in Edinburgh not too many years ago. Super memories. I cannot understand why I would not have shot a proper pic of the transporter unless I did and pic disappeared in the mists of time and house moves. Not quite sure how this pic is so small when it was copied over? Also I dislike the predictive text which becomes gobbledegook if you don't watch it carefully!

The EE transporter is one I haven't seen in the flesh. I hope to get to Goodwood in the next couple years where it usually appears. However, it strikes me that it and some of the cars are now owned by Bruce McCaw in Seattle, so may not have to travel as far. 😄

Jerry, if you haven't already, you need some 'burnt rubber/motor oil' air fresheners in your hobby room in your garage Your dioramas just spring to life the scene at hand.
Although I lack the time and perhaps skills today, I am a 'covert' diorama fan. I built about 6 of those Great Garages diorama kits circa 2000 by Estes. Certainly ultra-crude compared to your work, but it was extremely fun and therapeutic. I have also collected a few pre-made diorama bases from 'L'eau Rouge' of Belgium and some kits from an outfit from Germany called High Tech Modell? I'm guessing you've seen some of those?
If nothing else, I really need to buy some more bases/backgrounds from our friend in France at Milena Rose.

I get enough auto odor by running the cars indoors during the winter. 😀 The smell of clutch and brake linings burning is what reminds me of racing. If you want, I'd be happy to make you a street base to put models on. Copy images and mount them on cardboard for different backdrops. That's what I do. 😉 I can't look at this thread anymore - I want all of these vehicles Look away Martin! 🤣

Stop it Jerry, just stop it. I'll have to reach for the blood pressure pills again
