I've started building a 1/24 scale junkyard based loosely on Old Car City in Northwest Georgia. I'm well along on the scratch-built barn and base. Just getting started on making some cars appear rusted or "barn-find" condition. While looking for junkyard pieces, I came across a 3D printed 1/24 scale oil bottle rack. The second photo is the oil bottle rack painted and sign added now in my gas station / body shop scale diorama. It's under the window, next to the tire.

Added some details to my junkyard diorama. Built my first 1/24 scale tree. Scratch built a Delco battery, creeper, BBQ grill and a toolbox. Put up some signs. Working now on a classic Lincoln to give it serious junkyard patina.

Having some fun developing my junkyard diorama build. I added a couple details inside the outhouse.  Added signs along the fence and made a couple more old batteries. A worn out Lincoln has found a home next to the Willys. Watch a short video of the junkyard fence row as it's coming along. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Con8RjEjjyR/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Scratch-built TP

I've got my scale junkyard diorama mostly put together, although I figure I'll swap out cars and add details as I feel like it in the future. Here's a link to a new one minute "walk-through" of the junkyard as it is now, including an inside view. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpINSaYDLJ-/Here's a link to more photos of the junkyard and my other dioramas https://www.oldgarage.com/photo-galleries/auto-service-dioramas/

Very cool. Love the detail on everything. The TP in the outhouse is a nice touch.

Added more lighting to my '53 Buick dealer 1/24 scale diorama. Here's a link to a 45 second video of a tour of the service garage, gas pumps, used car lot and showroom at night. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpjMbXnDu7K/
