Mopar Diorama

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I've not posted in this section before but I have looked at every page and the work I see here is INCREDIBLE. I don't really know anyone around here interested in models. I love this web site. Really cool to see a community of folks you can listen to, learn from and see everyone"s ideas. And again, INCREDIBLE !

Thought I would show a few pictures of something I have been working on in the winters. All comments, criticisms and suggestions are welcome. Pat me on the back or punch me in the gut. I can take it.

Enjoy

That is one of the best, well-used, garage dioramas that I've ever seen. The grunge and clutter, the wall insulation, the wood or coal stove...... everything is very well done and very realistic looking. You must have a LOT of time in on this.

Thank you very much.

I made the wall insulation by laying out my pattern out in a graphics program and printing it out on beige letterhead paper. Spray adhesive was used to attach to some pink felt. Took the sheet and crumpled it a few times and cut it into strips. Very easy

I made the stove from a piece of 3/4 inch plastic water line and a straw from McDonalds. Yes I have a lot of time in it. My cold weather project. 5 winters so far.

Thank you again

So many awesome details...I love it! That poor shop chair looks worked, and The GM sucks newspaper is hilarious. I like both GM and Mopar, but it was still funny.

Thank you , I was just teasing with the newspaper. There are some Chevys that I like as well.

I keep looking at this diorama, always see new things... it inspires me to built a garagediorama in the future too. For me it has the WOW factor.. Hope to see more work from you in the future....

Thank you very much
