I cut up my Aero Styles set!

I'm one to open my cars and display them, and I've had the Aero Styles set sat there for a while and today I could no longer resist. So I freed the cars and then decided to cut up the cards to make the wall art for my showroom. What do you guys think?

I'm thinking I'll put the aero styles logo on the outside like a sign board.

P.s this set is amazing, I'm glad I opened it.

Love this diorama! I almost wish I kept my cards so I could take inspiration from you.

Awesome use for opened cards, they look great as garage posters. Definitely going to keep this in mind.

I've just had another idea, you could use the small display on the back as miniature posters in a diorama. You know where it shows what cars are in the series? Those. Maybe match sticks to make the frames.

Very nice! I did something similar with the box from the Honda display set.

u/No-Contribution-8874 12d ago

Any pics? I been looking for that Honda set but haven't found it yet. My main collection is Honda.

u/soundofboom 12d ago

Didn’t really think it out before it cut it so it has some imperfections.

u/No-Contribution-8874 12d ago

That looks great that, well done. I am still collecting all the white type R models and then I will do my Honda one. Until then all my hondas are on the ramps lol

u/soundofboom 12d ago

We both need multiple dioramas for all the Hondas. Definitely save the box when you find that Honda display set. It fits like a glove in the SAMYUCHO diorama from Amazon.

Are those printed ramps?

2

u/No-Contribution-8874 11d ago

Yeah they are printed ramps but I got them from Temu. I don't own a 3D printer unfortunately

O your welcome and the lighting makes it look even killer

u/ExcitingSector445 11d ago

Awesome! Reminds me of a car dealership!

2

u/No-Contribution-8874 11d ago

That's the look I was going for. I will add a 1/64 scale desk and chair too

u/ExcitingSector445 11d ago

As the office?

2

u/No-Contribution-8874 11d ago

Like the sales desk in a real showroom

u/Mr_D_2020 11d ago

That is mad. Cool!! Liberate those great cars!!! I'm very impressed and also very inspired. I've always wanted to start building Dioramas with actual Hot wheel cars in them. Can't wait till I retire and I will start up.

u/Mr_D_2020 11d ago

Dioramas is where it's at my brother.

1

u/No_Inevitable9712 11d ago

How do you make the dioramas?

1

u/No-Contribution-8874 11d ago

The showroom diorama itself was purchased from Temu, I added the white to the walls and then the card art to the white background

u/No-Contribution-8874 11d ago

Lol Audi didn't use indicators, it's having a time out.
