pcm1977 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I finally finished my Linburg Rammunition Monster Truck diorama. The kit was pretty easy and went together easily. This was my first model with a roll cage and fitting it together concerned me a bit, but it just slide together and required no cursing at all. What made it best was the $9.99 price tag from Olies. The crushed cars are my first also and it was also my first time spattering mud/sand. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeakDoc Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 That’s awesome. Great detail on the truck, almost seems a shame to cover it up with mud and dirt, but it works. Great diorama all the way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcm1977 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 I scored a second place at the county fair this past week with this one. I lost out to a really nice two -tone Revell Kenworth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put dry wall mud down on a painted board, then painted it. After it dried I painted some white glue all over it and put some sand on it before it dried. I then sprayed the sand with "Auqa-net" hairspray so it would hold some of it peaks an valleys. in all it took about 4 days to do just the base. The truck was done in a similar fashion except I painted some mud paint under the glue. Wish i had a better way to create a "mud" effect rather than using the sand.
