This is not a WIP thread,just wanted to share a few pics of what I am working on. I just did not know where to post unfinished projects. This is another 1/24 scale diorama. So far, this is what I have. I have already made some minor changes after these pics were taken. Will post the final pics in the appropriate forum.

Thank you so much. Now let see if I can stomach up enough energy to start on the next project.

Thanks man. I really appreciate your kind comments and support in building this diorama. Now it's onto the next the build.

Truly kind of you to say Jay. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Absolutely welcome.

Hi Pat. I think you mean Sweden.

Thank you Peter. Will give it a try.

I know. Thank you. I know about the figure. I am trying to improve in that category but it is not an easy subject matter. But I am working on improving myself.

Thank you.

Thank you my friend.

Thank you kindly Marcin.

Thank you fellows. Now onto the next build...:)

Finally took some outdoor photos of this 1/24 scale truck loading bay diorama. morning sun is not always the best to take pics, especially when it's winter. But it will do this time around.

Great lighting on that truck. Any suggestions, products to buy to light this diorama up? Links to product to that will suit this diorama as well as tips on how to get everything working perfectly would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Bob. I am still working on the interior. I am thinking of adding a light or a couple of lights. not sure how to yet.

Thank you for your point of view. I guess I could have made the lettering fanciful but I wanted it plain and dull. I could have gone for the generic design(i assume u mean a normal sign), but opted for what I thought would fit well together with the design of the building. But I can still test how it would look with a generic sign.

Thank you. I guess I am happy with the end results. Could always be made better but with what I had to work with, I am satisfied with how it turned out. Thank you for your support.

Thanks for your comment and question. There are places in Europe that have signs in English for international truck drivers. Some have both languages. Others, just the countries standard language. I guess it depends how big of a company it is.

Will post better pics later.

Ok fellow modellers. I have just updated this diorama. It is almost at a closure with some minor details and weathering on the trailer to be made. As you can see in the pics, I've decided the trailer to be somewhat dirty(are you surprised?). Since the trailer is the second main attraction on the diorama, I wanted it to be as detail as possible but without over-doing it. I think it looks fine. As mention, I will add a few minor details and de-toned the weathering just a little. As you can see, I changed the building Logo from the previous one to a much simple four letter word. I made the letters one color instead of the two-color variant I had before. I added a light fixture, to each letter giving it some character detail. I added some more detailing inside the second bay dock, which is the machinery part of this factory. I bought a beautiful die-cast pallet lifter(expensive, but it was worth it for the details). The pallet lifter is a Toyota BT Levio Powered Pallet Truck from MARKETOY on Amazon. I also added a strobe light and a fire alarm bell on the left side wall, of the bay door. Also added some signs to give it more added interest. I added a big fan at the back and bits and pieces. I also added a figure that I am not too proud of. My figure painting is not much to je desired. This is my weakness. The figure is a resin which I bought some time ago. It is a nice figure but my painting does not do it justice. My only quirk with this figure is the head. It seems too big for the body. Regardless of that it was fun to paint. Lord knows that I need the practice.The forklift is in place now. I think it looks convincing.It helps to have reference shots as well. All-in-All, I'm pleased how it turned out.

You are too kind. Thank you. Glad you approve. Thank you kindly. Thanks David.

Thank you kindly. The equipment in the second bay is just that. Improvised machinery made to look busy. Although the overall look is characteristic of a somewhat similar area with similar attributes.

Thank you.
