tiking Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Been working on this for a while. Not 100% complete but almost. Still got some dents to immitate on the cab and more weathering on the trailer chassi but all-in-all, is pretty much done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillyb1 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 That is a very cool diorama indeed. Quite a lot of detail to take in, but it is wonderful to behold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sports850 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Looks great Charles , Just needs Lindsay Brothers decals (local truck company who had a very bad run a few years ago and became known as upside down trucking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle potts Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 where did you get your trees? They are the hardest part of an outdoor setting to replicate in 1/25th scale. I'm always looking for fresh ideas to improve my diorama's.Your trees look very realistic, and this tends to be a weak area in mine. Nicely done, very creative idea.

tiking Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Looks great Charles , Just needs Lindsay Brothers decals (local truck company who had a very bad run a few years ago and became known as upside down trucking) Shame I did not know this at the time, I would probably done it. where did you get your trees? They are the hardest part of an outdoor setting to replicate in 1/25th scale. I'm always looking for fresh ideas to improve my diorama's.Your trees look very realistic, and this tends to be a weak area in mine. Nicely done, very creative idea. The trees and all vegetations are the real thing. I have always used what nature has to offer since I was building 1/35 scale armor. The trees are small branches broken of a bigger tree. The grass is moss and the rest are tree stems and whatever looks the part. I always choose particular ones because not all branches will look right. And not all moss will produce the same effect. A thousand thanks to everyone else who has replied. I do appreciate your comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHamilton Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 i REALLY like this! It's a very different way of presenting a truck model. It shows off the underside (something we don't see too often), it's extremely well done and it's very imaginative. Wonderful concept, beautifully done. Congratulations, Charles.

Sixties Sam Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Great concept, and well done! The shredded front tire is a great touch! Maybe it blew out and caused the wreck! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiking Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Thanks guys. Sam, you are right. That was the reason for the accident. But the driver made it out 'ok'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
