1stPix Die Cast Dioramas

Here is a look at a Classic Car Parade from the not so little diorama world at 1stPix Diecast Dioramas...  

All the design, construction,  detailing,  photography,  including my modest customizing projects for this layout were done in my spare time over the last 6 years.  The entire display takes up a basement and 2 spare rooms.  All of the structures and details are either scratch-built or modified from model railroad kits. The signs,  billboards, and some of the decals are all custom made using a label making program.

Today the parade is taking a little tour of the different diorama set-ups;  the commercial lots,  the car dealerships, and along the coast through the fictional city of Mystic Beach and Baynard County.

 

Along the way, at designated locations, the cars stop for 20 minute exhibitions to let all the fans get an up close and personal look at all the different rides and chat with the owners.


 

 

Everyone at Canyon Park Collision takes a break while the MOPAR gang make a little detour through the lot on a scheduled stop along the parade route.    
 

 

 

The "Greenlight" Classic Car Club takes over the Baynard Waters Convention Center along the way.


 

Mopar sets up for the next stop, sponsored by John Deere Keys Blvd.



The GM club passes RPM customs on it's way to the big event......

 

 

 

GM sponsors a stop in front of the local Chevrolet Hummer GMC dealer

Ford fans flock to Canyon Park Ford to check out all the classics, where Mustang Madness Days are also back, by popular demand

 

BELOW are some additional pictures of the parade as it traveled around the layout..............

 

 

 

 



For the grand finale, all the classic cars line up and  proceed down N. Ocean Blvd. to their final destination at Mystic Beach Bark Park,

where everyone else is waiting to check out and hang with all the classics for the rest of the afternoon.
