Great stuff Charles! Superb weathering on the car. "No girls" sign is a must,lol! Maybe a slingshot and a wasp-shaped bottle of Coca-Cola and you become Norman Rockwell!
cheers!

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words!
For those of you who suggested signage of sorts:


I tried putting a smaller version of the Girls Only' sign on the vehicle but it didn't look right.
Thought I could even out the scene with a small 'keep out' sign to balance.

Cheers,
C.

That is a really superb, skilled work Charles.

A really evocative nicely done scene mate.

Very well done!

Charles,

Your little "No Girls Allowed" scene transcends a product of our hobby and is an artistic creation!!

EXCELLENT!

Overall really nice, it would stand up and become an OD if you want to send in photos.

I personally would have put a leaf or two on the top of the car and in a couple of the grass tufts.
