rv1963 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Here are a bunch of pics of my junk yard i finished it about a year ago it's my first and only diorama, it doesn't really tell a story but there are a lot of little details to see and it should keep you busy for a few minutes finding them. Any and all comments welcome and yes i know the spider is a little out of scale think of it as a large tarantula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Whatshisname Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Looks great RV. I like the spider. Not too big from where I can see. Like you said...a big hairy tarantula. I like the details and the weathering. The only thing I would suggest is to make sure you drill out the hub and lug nuts when displaying a wheel that is disconnected from a car. Well done!!!!!!

BigGary Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 My first thought when I looked at this dio was, "Its an abandoned street rod project". The detail and weathering are outstanding! All the elements are there, extra engines, rusty chrome wheels, other hot rod parts sitting around. Great job. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rv1963 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Thanks Gary it was a fun build and i will try to improve on the next one which i am working on now i think it will be called the muscle car junk yard it will have 3 cars in it you may have seen the first one i posted in on the bench it's a Baldwin motion Camaro.
