My uncle sent me this link yesterday.  I thought the work was pretty impressive.

Got to be one of the best scale Junk Yards I've ever seen done . The details on each and every model are excellent and very realistic looking.

Awesome, worth a look.  Someone who must never sleep, all that takes a ton of time.  The air torch is a good tip.

The 250 SWB deserves this treatment, the kit is terrible to begin with.  This is my Out To Pasture:

So how many of us have built whole junkyards? My effort from 40-odd years ago:

I added more cars and got it a bit more detailed after these shots were taken. I later traded the whole thing (except the forklift) to Tom Beauchamp for some old unbuilt kits, and some of my cars were reused in the Neuchamps junkyard diorama:

I enjoyed the article, thanks for sharing JJ.

I really got a kick from the writers statement...

Because, we all know that no marque is immune from the ravages of bad drivers, neglected maintenance and depreciation. All those wrecked high-end exotics and overpowered muscle cars have to end up somewhere. They don't just disappear, not right away at least!

I ran across this article on an exotic car junkyard.

Nice! When I look at that, I see the same thing I see when I go to my actual local junkyard....lots of good rebuilders.?
