Thank you. The rust is not rust. As I was told, these did not rust because they were made out of aluminum. At the the body was aluminum. Chassi was probably steel. But, anyway, the brown stuff is accumulation of dried vegetation and moisture over a long period of time. Wow! Care to share memories, I take it? Thank you. Glad you approved.

Thank you. Sorry for the late reply. The concrete road: My methods: 1. I mixed the tile grout very heavily with moderate water to allow for quick drying. 2. I Spread it on the area of the diorama. I used grout (thick consistency). I did this outside, when the sun was out and let the heat dry the surface of the grout. As this dried quickly, it slowly produced the minuscule cracks you see. 3. Even it out with spreader. 4. Took a sponge and dabbed certain areas with it. I continued to sponge certain areas to give the grainy patches you see in a few of the photos 5. I used a small spreader to draw over the grout to produce some of the half broken concrete patches; sub-levels, and other small u level, rocky crevices you see.. 6. Then I used a black wash and let that dried for a day. Then went over it again with the same black wash. Then let it dried for an hour, then went over it with a brown wash. I will go over it again, to knock back the brown again. Will post the complete diorama when done. Hope this helps those who are probably wondering how I achieved this results. ------------------------------ The ramp was done using a mock-up cardboard, Then I poured mixed grout into the mock-up cardboard, and voila! No plans for lighting. But I am working on another large diorama, almost similar which will be just over 2 meters long by 40cm. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you Bob.

A big thank you. Glad you enjoy viewing the photos.

Much appreciated Roger. Glad you like the diorama. Especially glad you like the figures, especially when I am no figure painting expect. Been struggling for a very long now and still need more practice. I use AK-interactive face skin colors for the skin.

These are photos of clip I put up showcasing loading and unloading of vehicles. I made a few changes, removing the guy working on truck tyres and replaced everything behind the wall with vegetation and a guy taking a piss. Enjoy the photos. -------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------------

3rd time is a charm. Yep! this my third upgrade or maybe downgrade, considering the size of this version. I think it looks much better than the two older versions: What do you all think?

Appreciate your kind words David. Thank you.

The one I used came from this set: https://www.monstersinmotion.com/cart/item-list-ae-c-13_191/amt-garage-accessory-series-2-tip-top-shop-125-scale-model-kit-p-26123.html

I updated the vignette with patches of grass, rooster and seagulls.

Will have to take a look at that.

Thank you David. Sometimes, outside the norm of things can be refreshing.

My humble thanks.

HEHE! Well, there is a reference photo of a Guy from Somalia carrying a shark. That's where this figure was mastered. Thank you kindly. Much appreciated. HAHAHA!!!!

In a slum district, one of the fishermen just made a big catch of the day. Something that the inhabitants are shocked to see.

Thanks. That particular one is a Fe20 Furguson. Very famous and loved by collectors.

Glad you approved. Thank you.

Thank you very much David. Favorite? I think I would also go for the same one you chose.

Appreciate that you liked it. Thanks.

Thanks.

Thank you. The idea came from several photos and this one below: He has not seen it yet. I'm still waiting to hear from him.

Thank you kindly.

I was given these 6 models at an exhibition, in February of this year.. Five farm tractors and one Unimog vehicle, all 1:32 scale die-cast models, were given to me, as the client puts it; 'Make something outta it, and make it work together'. Check out the 'before' collage photo of all six vehicles and the 'after' photos of the completed commission. Before weathering & diorama: ---------------------------------- After weathering and placed on a simple flat base diorama:

Thank you kindly Mark. Glad you approved. Thank. Unfortunately there are no wip. Sorry. Big thank you Zippi.
