Very nice work.   Where did you get the cars? What scale are they?

I am working on a tutorial on vacuum forming, so I should be able to make ones like these (http://www.terragenesis.co.uk/infopages/page423.html) only in plastic. That will fill out a scrap yard nicely.

They are all different scales really, thats why I wrecked em. The PT Cruiser was probably really close to being 1/35, but with the wheels removed and the roof smashed down it it passable for 1/43. The rusty hulk was probably close to that size too. The flatbed truck and strech hummer are closer to 1/50 scale. The cars in the first picture on the blog are all 1/43 ish in scale, the size I really prefer. I got all of them from different sources; most are from the grocery store belive it or not.
