Mopar - D Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Most of the reference pictures I saw for building the truck and trailer were at different race tracks. I started my project with just building the truck and one car but I was able to get the decals for the second car for Swede Savage so I decided to go with both cars. I have not done a diorama before but I wanted to sometime and as I progressed with my project kept painting accessories that I had in my parts boxes and decided this would be my first diorama. I have a WIP for the building of the truck and trailer and also a WIP for both cars. I’ve had a lot of fun building this. Your comments are welcome and appreciated. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagerpm Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Really nice work. I like how the concrete was done - not uniform in texture or color, just like the real thing. Can't wait to see this at the HAMS show in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
