This is one of your best dioramas Charles . . . So much to take in at one look, so I will go back through your photos to discover more!

The three trees coming together, form the resting place for the vehicle, and the real tree stump is perfect as a base for the whole scene.

Where did you manage to find a SWB Land Rover model, as they all seem to be the LWB version ?

Excellent work, very nice weathering. Is that a WalMart shopping cart stuck between the trees? I am going to have to go back through these pictures later, when I have time to just pick out the details. Thanks for sharing.

HEHE! thanks a lot.

Working on this diorama has been a pleasure. Trying new weathering techniques have also yielded good results without spending am arm or a leg on many weathering solutions( although, they help beginners). Hope you all like the results of this build.

Outstanding grimmy details on all of the trucks and the yard. The people all look very realistic with their expressions on their faces and their clothing. 

Thank you kindly.

I really like this diorama of yours Charles . . . There is such a lot going on there. The whole scene does not take up a large amount of space, in terms of ground area, but you have included three trucks, a trailer and a skip, as well as the concrete ramp, the wall and eight figures. This looks good from all angles actually . . . As usual, your attention to detail regarding the scrap metal and surface textures is outstanding  !

Well thought out composition.

David

Much appreciated David. Thank you so much for your keen eye. Getting the right placement for all the items took some time. I had to play around with them to see what fits and where each placement will give the perfect realism. Glad you like the look.
