I should add the 4 year old is the one who makes a mess the 8 year old is pretty good with toys and cleans up all the cars before they leave. The 4 year old checks them out .Got it... Got it ... OH... need it .. He only collects cars the hood opens on or has tires that come off l.o.l. The 8 year old only collects planes and leaves them here in a box so his little brother wont lose them when they go home.

That is too cool! I love your diorama stuff and love seeing the Batmobiles in them. My dream one day is to build a diorama of the Batman's garage in the Batcave with all the different Batmobiles in 1/64 scale.

To me, this is what dioramas are all about. It's like a Matchbox playset for adults! Having fun playing with our toys. :thumbup:

Firehawk .....No excuse ...Stop dreaming and get started l.o.l. That is the only hard part of doing anything getting started.


I am not a Batman fan but like the 40s and 50s style cars. MY dream would be to find a real cave to park Pearls junk in l.o.l.

Swifty ...I think the first diorama Pearl made was to display a few of her favorite cars we have no small kids. Then along comes nieces and nephews and grandkids
and all of a sudden you have a house full of kids and our place looks like a toy shop so everything gets played with. Of course Pearl cant walk by a diorama without moving a car or adding a few more l.o.l.
