SpikeSchumacher Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Hello Everyone, This is something I threw together for an old build of mine. All of the cactus (cacti?) are from a company called Epic Basing and are 3d printed. Everything else is a combination of various scenery materials. The adobe and the base are made out of 1" pink insulation foam. Cheers, Mathias 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug 1061 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Too cool. I think about trying a diorama but that's as far as it ever gets. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti Fan Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) A really nice model build of the Tijuana Taxi and the diorama setting is just brilliant. The base edging if stained and polished and a nameplate added would finish off the diorama beautifully.

Street Rod Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 That’s just straight up cool! Great job on the Taxi, too! Perfect setting for the car! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Great looking scene you have created. Some really nice detail work. The only thing missing is a rattlesnake hiding somewhere, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Always enjoy looking at a good diorama as it shows the builders imagination and skill. This one is great! A fun subject. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSchumacher Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 Thanks! Waiting for some Sculpy Clay to arrive to make a rattlesnake chasing the chicken running down to creek bed at the rear. May throw in a Gila monster somewhere as well 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ordered some Black 2.0 to finish it off with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Excellent diorama and TJ Taxi ! The paint and detail is incredible ! I've done some looking and am wondering where I could buy some of the Epic Basing Cactus ? No FB account here and even there saw nothing about purchasing their stuff .
