I use JB Weld. I beveled the edges a bit, just to have a little on the outside of the body for strength. On the inside, I put on a thin layer, added some plastic strips before the JB dries, for support, then a top layer of JB. After you make your outside mold, you can carefully remove part of the inside support to finish the inside mold...RM

Thanks Dusty, The diorama is just for taking pics. It's made out of scrap 3/8 th's MDF scraps. You can buy a small piece at Home Depot or Lowes. It's 3 sided with a floor. I primed and painted the walls with regular latex paint. The stripe is automotive pen striping to separate the colors. For the floor, I think I sprayed it flat black, then take a can of grey primer, hold it back about 2 ft, and let the mist hit the floor. The shop tools are mostly scratch built - the rack, engine stand, engine hoist, lift, creeper, Pepsi machine. Motor Max has some cool dioramas out now. The guys are from the Winner's Circle Pit Row diecast series. Hope this helps...RM
