mandojunior Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Ive been working on this on and off for the last couple weeks. Ive ordered a set of scale shop tools and micelaneous things to fill it in a bit more. The c10 was my first build since i got into modeling about 1 year ago. The jurassic jeep is what im working on now. I think i will replace them with different cars later tough. I would also like to add led lighting. Ive seen alot of the work on the site and theres some really talented guys here. I wasnt going to post but i figure theres no better place to get some feed back and tips. All opinions are welcome.

Crazy Ed Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I like it. Looks like some guys Garage. The addition of Tools will go a long way towards increasing the realism. And the idea of swapping out kits is a great way to display stalled projects! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelercarl Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Great first effort, has a "real" look to it. I built a 3 bay garage diorama several years ago and I think you will always be finding stuff to add to yours or replace older stuff with newer finds. My only comment would be that you probably would not find a drive shaft still attached to a rear end/axle or a complete chromed front end, they would be in pieces. Yours makes a perfect photo stage for all your future builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandojunior Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Armando, how did you make the boxes?I printed them from some website online. They sell them and you just print them out on thick paper. They have a section of free samples. I thibk the website was called make a diorama.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandojunior Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Thanks for the tips. Im going to try to weather the walls and some of the parts and lay out everything so it looks a little more natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Thanks Armando. I'll look that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-body fan Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think it looks great. If I was to suggest something it would be to make 1 of the side walls removable to make taking photos easier. That way you won't need such a steep camera angle. Nice work. The tools should really set it off. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tools should reset it of.ok Mike. Thanks, i would have never tought about that. I had a hard time trying to take pictures because i had my camera inside the dio and i couldnt always tell where it was looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hit the floors with a little bit of weathering pastel to dirty it up a little. Not a lot, but enough to make it look like it's been used. Might want to get the very lower edge of the wall, too. Set the engine on a couple of hollow tires; you'd never set it on the concrete floor like that. I agree- add some tools and similar objects. Very good start that can finish very nicely.

Tamiya makes them, and they work very well from report- haven't used them, but I have spoken to people that have and they swear by them.What I've usually done if I want something like this is thinned black paint for a little grime. Takes a little practice, but that can look very convincing, too. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsideous Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I love the Jurassic park jeep in the diorama. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
