Looks like it is off to a great start. What do you use for snow if you don't mind my asking?

It looks great. I like the realism of the rock wall and parking lot. I am surprised you didn't use a small crane to assemble the Target to begin the dio, or even paving equipment, as it seems like a lot of work for just a snow removal dio and all of other elements of construction are present. Still good none the less. I'm sure the snow will cover the grass, but glue could be a staple/gun replacement. Good luck on the rest, and eager to see the end outcome!

I made a dio similar to this one last year at this time, here are a few videos from it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTxOkiIulz4&feature=relmfuhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulBaRLxMmSU&feature=relmfu

Good luck on the rest, and eager to see the end outcome! Thanks. Eh, I would have but it would have been a really big pain in the butt, I don't have any paving models either. It is a bit of work just for the snow but in the end its worth it. Yea it was a quick resort lol, its going to be covered by snow anyway, I wouldn't have used staples if it wasn't going to be covered  I'll post more when I finish it.

Looks Great! If you're looking for some cheap older cars that you'd typically see left in lots overnight and covered in snow, (or get plowed into the piles) check out Plastruct, they have some low detail 1:48 scale cars that come in two packs for $12 designed for architectural models, a little too low detailed for a general diorama, but give them a shot of spray on drywall texture and they'll look snow covered. just do a search from their main page for product group "all groups" and modeling scale "O /1:48" Another resource for similar, higher detailed, but more expensive and unpainted models: Howard architectural modelsLook under "1/4" scale vehicles" Your package from me will ship monday, Sorry for the production delay. I'll throw in a little bonus detail for your Dio.

To bad those Matchbox cars aren't big enough, I have boxes of those lying around from the kid ages  Oh awesome, no prob on the delay, I don't mind waiting. Hmm, can't wait to see this bonus
