Had an old Lincoln kit around I was planning to use in a diorama of Green Acres. Decided to use it for the Deathmobile which is only seen for seconds during the film, always wanted one.
Started with just the car itself then I happened upon a lamp post (hollow styrene tube) that was an appropriate size) and a bit of clear packaging that resembled a lamp base. Then decided to add a phone booth and it simply took off from there adding figures that had a great expression for the moment depicted.
Phone booth totally scratchbuilt as was the building/backdrop using styrene brick sheet on foam.
A little 'artistic expression' used on the diorama here and there such as the one-sided Beauty Shop sign. I'd put styrene dowels into it to strengthen it and square it up, they kinda looked like florescent tubes so I worked with that.
Just havin' fun.
