Always wondered who built this diorama and scale. Quit building about 15 years ago & Was thinking of getting back into modeling late last year. But didn't want to go back to aircraft/armor for awhile and quite possibly lose what ever modeling mojo I had. Then thought of zombies/apocalypse dioramas and wondered if anyone was doing them. Boy, was I surprised not only in the number of dioramas/figures, but drawings of destroyed/abandoned cities, survivors, etc. NOW I was enthused about modeling once again.
Saw your diorama via Google and didn't know until now that there was stuff to be seen behind the wall. As to vehicles, ran into the same problem. Everything seems to be from the 30's to the 60's. Then thought of diecast and there a lot of stuff to chose from not only in 1/32nd, but also 1/36th.
But there are drawbacks.
Not real accurate detailing inside the car/truck. They have play value, meaning a VERY large hinge that you'll have to deal with if you show the car/truck open. Most of the bodies are metal, though some, like one of my VW buses,is a combination of metal & plastic. The seats are basic and so far, only come in 2 colors: tan or black. The VW buses vary, some that will have driver/passenger door openable, others, it's only 1 or both cargo doors, but then, the driver/passenger door doesn't open. There is basically NO detailing on the undercarriage of the vehicle, though tires & rims don't look too bad on all the vehicles.
You can take these things apart with very little trouble. The glass is one piece on all of 'em. The trucks are the worse as far as detailing goes because the beds are maybe 9" deep scale wise.
Thanks again for showing your diorama off and helping me regain my modeling mojo back.
