Agreed on both parts! The X-Concepts in particular. Not easy to come by these days! And did I spot a pair of Redlines in there too? *gasps*

Looks like a very realistic junkyard. The outdoor setting helps tremendously for that. :thumbup:

I love the idea of leaving them in the outside! Where I live, I bet that they will rust quickly. Lots of rain.

Great! Here only rains a LOT in summer, LOT! of rain, Those cars still outside xD - Waiting for another rain, and looking at flea markets for more junkyard cars... I will try to do a fence around of the cars to make it realistic and I didn't liked the Little rocks on the ground, In the pictures they look very big, Next time put some sand under the cars xD... Thanks everybody por positive comment, I really really appreciate that :D

Zamac, unfortunately, is an alloy that does not rust.

However, if you were to leave them outside in a wet climate with, say, steel wool wrapped around them, then some realistic rusting might be achieved.
