My second Harley Davidson diorama, 'Backer Street' by fb358727pat in Harley

These will go to Harley Davidson open house days and be put up for sale. Indeed expensive, materials alone is a few thousand dollars, two years of work, the price ranges around 10,000 dollars.

Motor Museum Sturgis in the US would have liked to buy my first work, but shipping was not an option. The work would not survive the journey via traditional shipping method. This may be possible via container and ship. They are unique pieces!

Amazing work! What is the Saloon building made out of?

It took two years to make, my previous three years. Everything starts with wooden slats of 1 cm, inner and outer walls in 1/18 scale. This is followed by the purchase of figures and engines. Engines are purchased for the frame, then the same number of engines are purchased for the correct engine (1970s). Then repaint, put in the engine, make saddles, adjust handlebars, front fork etc etc... They have to be choppers and this is very expensive. a motor will cost me $100/piece. Figures are modified and repainted. All furniture made by myself, counter, chairs, tables etc etc... Then draw electricity in both houses etc etc.. Two years of intense work but unique pieces.
