Thanks Tom, I have one more, a pre-war Fiat 621, brought this year, but I don't yet own a corresponding 8CTF model. I'm searching for a cheap Brumm, but it has to be the red one, raced at Tripoli, because the burgundy Indianapolis winning Boyle models had their own iconic transporter.

This is one model I drooled over for some years until I finally got my act together and brought it - the Piper green one, as I felt I need a color patch in my Ferrari collection. Have to get it out and make a presentation.

That is very cool looking and it looks like it was perfect for its task.

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. 😉 Hi Jerry, what an extremely generous offer! Just might be interested, but would be more than happy to compensate. Indeed, the photographic background to a textured/3D base is a winning formula!
