I'd like everyone to take a moment to remember those who went before us.

Yep, I have a cemetery.

These headstones / monuments are mostly from the Lemax 'spooky town' series, and the fencing is from the Lemax 'christmas town' series.
They had spooky fencing, but it's broken wrought iron with jack-o-lanters and wasn't respectful enough for the cartaker at this one. It should be coming back into stores pretty soon. (I know that it's available at Michaels, HobbyLobby, Menards.) http://www.lemaxcollection.com/villages

If i remember right, the fence kinda sucks because you get too many gates and powered sections. The scale isn't great as fence only comes to hip height on a bruder figure. However, i've been to a lot of older cemeteries that the fence is only about waist height. There's also not a huge amount of variation of available headstones and monuments.

you just might need a hearse with that.
I've seen ambulances been build. and wreckers also. Crashed cars and trucks, all have been build.
But I think a hearse would be a first ;-).

O and a small excavator. might just do the trick

I haven't found a donor yet, but if i can find a suitable body a funeral coach is absolutely something i'd like to build! Just need to track down a 1/14 scale styrene 1950s to early 1990s fullsize 4 door car suitable to make into a landau style 3-way or endloader.

A cemetery could probably use some support equipment like a backhoe or baby excavator, a flatbed with a headstone gantry.

Thought it might be a good way to take up some extra floor space at a show that looks kinda empty, and with these coming back into season it's a good time to share it with everybody.

I thought i had my donor Funeral Coach!

If you sell a "1/14 scale car", it should generally be *somewhere* around 1/14 and not slightly smaller than a true 1/18 scale diecast of a cadillac professional chassis!

How can i build a 23 foot long, 7 foot wide retired Professional Car of awesomeness out of this little guy?

I'll give them the wrong grill and bumpers, i'll give them the '60 fins on a '59, i'll even give them the tiny interior surrounded by a HUGE door round-over. But just say that it's 1/18 or 1/20 scale.
