New salvage yard in the works....

[Shambles]

Hi yall. I ain't been on here in a while but we're back to 100º afternoons down here in FL, so I've been working on a new salvage yard diorama. Here's one angle of where I am presently...

[Shambles]

Here's a Chevelle wreck in progress that will be added to the salvage yard soon... just a few more details. This was a decently built model I found on eBay. It was coming apart, but all there and priced right. When I took it apart to begin wrecking it, I noticed that it had been built from two kits.... one red, one blue.

Real nice start. Chevelle looks like a real wreck..

Believable wreck. Are you planning on buckling the top, that kind of damage would have put a pretty good kink in the roof sheetmetal.  Model on and show us more of your amazing work.

The collision damage looks great!!  Love the way it all makes sense and isn't just random damage.  

My only thoughts, FWIW, are the interior needs a little bit.  If anyone or anything was in the back seat they would have slammed the front seats pretty hard.  Also a missing or disassembled interior parts would not look out of place.  

Just some ideas.

Just a suggestion, not all cars in the boneyard are wrecks. Maybe some later model stripped down cars / trucks?

Great work on the body damage, very realistic.

Agreed. Here's one of my older dioramas, the biggest one I ever did. There are a few stripped cars in the back.
