mackd Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) I finished this comp last winter, I take pictures of diorama at the beginning of the summer, but I was too immersed in the CAT. This week I decided to do. I am overall quite satisfied except that I noticed a few errors too late. The camera has no friends and she shows us all the defects. The load consists of about 4000 coffee sticks. It represents planks gross 2 inches X 10 inches X 12 feet and 8 feet. For my staging I inspired by an incident that I had very long ago amount a very long slope on the North Coast. 7/8 of the top I heard a bang and a very large air leak, its urged arrival at the Summit. The hose has the released of the compressor broke completely. Before leaving my home I checked the straps so that they are tight. Cursed there is one is released. A driver negligent. In this picture I have never seen the Ford 150 down right when I took the picture. It has about 500 feet from me and I was about 50 feet higher than him. It is the largest gambling that he spent on the boulevard at this time. The effect is rather special apparently readying a up the Hill Edited October 7, 2015 by mackd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackd Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Thanks your comment buddies. I appreciate much. , Your comments prove me that I am in the right direction to close the mouth has are those who claim that the model is a toy and those who engaged this art of mental patients. We are all artists at the same level that a painter or a sculptor, it is my opinion. The miniature is most Eve art form on Earth. Thank you very much.
