Shambles Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 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 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) 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.

slusher Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Real nice start. Chevelle looks like a real wreck.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrenchr Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Just a suggestion, not all cars in the boneyard are wrecks. Maybe some later model stripped down cars / trucks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMPALA SS 427 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Great work on the body damage, very realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
