Inspired by the “Cars” movie, Roy Martinez Jr. of La Habra, Calif., is building a train-model set of the fictional Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. Here are some photos he e-mailed:
Martinez says he’s spent about 400 hours building the set, and he isn’t done. He needs to add detail work, finish Fillmore’s building, and install the toy rail lines. He’s going to use both N and HO scale railroads in the set.
That is AWESOME!!!! Fillmore’s Geodesic Dome could be a real challenge. But clearly Martinez laughs in the face of challenge. Just amazing.
Thank you, I have completed a whole bunch more on Ramones side of the blvd, I wasnt, but I did build all but one building on that side of the street. I extended the table because I ran out of room, now I begin luigi’;s side of the street, but there arent many still pictures of that side of the street. I can only stop the movie and hope to get a short glimps, so I will do as best I can, any pictures of luigis side of the street would be appreciated, then once we finish, a train with a micro mini cam for a moving tour of RADIATOR SPRINGS. will be installed on the choo-choo

Any updated pictures of the Radiator Springs Diorama? I am currently thinking about making one for my 4 year old so am open to ideas. I have some small orange cones that came with a lightning McQueen bike that i figure should be the perfect size for the cozy cone rooms.
Joseph, if you have an email address you can send me to my email I will forward the finished picture mach1shotgun@yahoo.com
