brett Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 did this one a couple of years ago , first attempt at a dio though most of the effort was directed at the truck. The tree is made from copper wire strands which were wrapped with and old bandage and dunked (litterally ) in a bucket of old paint. The foliage is some sort of fake plant I pulled apart. there some close up pics here http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v392/awesome55/40%20ford%20junker/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogdor Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Very convincing. I'd be careful on that tire swing. But maybe that explains the holes in the fence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 That's a really neat dio, Brett. I guess the truck is sitting on a concrete pad and that's why there's no grass/weeds underneath it. The hole in the box works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTMust Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 That's great work Brett. Very convincing. Is that a dead bird in the truck bed? Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I like this a lot. Nice job on the truck. I like the passenger door inside and the hole in the bed is just right! Also the concrete inside the rusted fence posts looks real. Excellent job on a first dio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I like this diorama, and the tire swing is the perfect crowning touch! Great job, Brett. Thanks for the eye candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin T Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Very nice,just stay away from the tire swing, I have had a few mishaps with them over the years(One involving flying about 15 feet down the side of a bank/sloped hill after the chain broke midair.)
