modeltruckmafia1 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I would say it's finished but it's a diorama they are never finished.

Eshaver Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Adam, I looked around the link . Some of the pieces were to me , well " Chunky " . Im sure they meant well too. Iv'e seen some of Scale Equipment's stuff first hand from the Foothills I P M S Show this year in Charlotte N C or should I say Hendersonville . regardless, The overall diorama is good , to me. I'll still scratchbuild a lot of stuff as I think I can do a better more realistic job . i was offered on a couple of ocassions the opportunity to visit and buy from some resin casters soda machines . I beleive Capt Bondo gave me the links too. I looked at what was there and decided to scratch build what I needed . Ther stuff looked good too. The one item that really stands out is the hydraulic lift . I hope you didn't make it as the thing is a scale several inches too thick ! You're holding up a plastic model , not the Titanic . The tool boxes look very nice however and if I were in the market for a Snap- On box , circa 1985, yep I'd buy a couple ! The thing to remember when you're doing a diorama is watch with a " Conservative eye " ! What may look good on the shelf dosen't always translate when it gets glued to the diorama base . Carefully scale your brain out to the size you are working on ! I mean it ! When I'm doing Doll Houses , I am usually asked to work in 1-12th scale , totaly diferent than 1-24th scale too. What I can get away with in a larger scale dosen't nessesarilly mean you can get away with it in a smaller dimension . Course too, these are just my random thoughts from an aging , " OVER THE HILL HIPPY FREAK " . Thanks for sharing the garage with us !

JamesW Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) The garage looks like a SMBC kit. I plan to get one soon, with LOTS of goodies to go in it. Looks good. *****And after checking the link it turns out to be a SMBC kit. Guess I shoulda checked that first. ***** Edited November 16, 2009 by grimreaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks nice when it's done, but how's getting there? Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
