chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) **FOR THOSE NEW TO THE TOPIC: MOVE DOWN FURTHER TO THE NEW POSTS FOR DECENT PICTURES!** I've been thinking about making a diorama for a while, and today it got its start. I think it's a 2'/10"/.5" piece. Not sure where it's heading, but I'll let IT tell me The grass is Life-Like grass sheet. The road, I first painted with Apple Barrel Territorial Beige, then put down some sieved dirt. Then I put thinned Elmer's Glue-All over it and some more dirt. Road still wet.... This will definitely get: Rusty cars (of course) Junk A fence Chevy truck on the road Faded grass A car being worked on More junk More comin' Edited May 25, 2015 by chunkypeanutbutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Flattened the road. Pine needles.... ...and goldenrod serve as bushes. Junk and cars to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I like the ideas so far, but you've really got to tone down that phosphorescent green grass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 I got ahead of that last night, with thinned Apple Barrel British Ivy Green. I'm still going to add some bare patches and probably fade it over most of it... Looks like a well-kept park to me :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Tossing ideas around after blackwashing the road and putting more Beige on the grass for bald spots and such.... Something about the Uzi here really speaks to me. Maybe it's Chuck Norris tunneling into my brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 More work... Making a fence for next to the road. Don't worry, it's supposed to look bad at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkypeanutbutter Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 This one went a while without being touched. However, the Shoebox rustbucket drew me in, along with the Dodge pickup. However, here's some stuff. Recognize the tractor? Repurposing and recycling at their best. Scratched in this pic: desk, orange crate, toolbox, tractor, and boiler stove. Makes a nice photo background... That's the real intent behind finishing this. Old build of a kit I got from Jesse Talmage. I rusted it... uhh, a couple weeks ago? Used a couple decals from the sheet Tom Geiger sent me. Cool dudes, both of em. So, there's still stuff to do.... thankfully. I'd go stir-crazy without something to do!

chunkypeanutbutter Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) And here's an overview right now... Sorry about the bad picture. It is night right now, after all... The Dodge and ScourScout aren't glued down; however, everything else is. Edited May 25, 2015 by chunkypeanutbutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkypeanutbutter Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Some daylight pictures.... This one here is my favorite picture so far. The perspective gives a good illusion of distance. The start of a pile of engines and other junk spilling over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTalmage Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Hey, the old bronco! good to see it again. I dig what you've done so far. Always wanted to make a dio... never had the space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 This is just a scrap of plywood I found in the garage. Strangely and thankfully, it fits perfectly on a table in my room. I think I may call this done quite soon and make another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyjunker1 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 looks really great. a catchall car would fit right in on this. just a car that is full of junk of all kinds in and around it. GREAT WORK. if it's junk you know i love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
