I don't remember, exactly where I got it, but it is this kit; https://www.super-hobby.se/products/Suzuki-Jimny-JA11-5.html. Many thanks Charles, and there are lots of these Hasegawa kits on Ebay, some of which are in UK so I shall probably order one. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiking Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 I've just added the figures to the dio. Again, I am no figure painting expert, but I always try to give it my utmost best. The figures were bought ready made, but I repainted them differently and because the original painting was not to my liking. I wanted to better the face and skin texture than what the original had. The dog has not been repainted(will do that later), although, I added it just to give the overall appeal to the diorama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia105E Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 The bearded male figure with the red baseball cap works really well for you, because he appears to be looking at the Suzuki in a realistic pose. Coincidentally, I have that dog figure myself ! . . . I have just ordered the Hasegawa Suzuki Jimny, which I shall build with optional standard wheels, as mine was a Suzuki Samurai 1988 and not a 1995 Jimny . . . Well done with the figure painting, which I know is not easy, and these figures bring the diorama to life. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959scudetto Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Very convincing, I'm not sure if I ever saw somebody to make look plastic like rusty metal as you do it always. I see, you have found use for the remains of the dumperbody (from the big IH dumper which got lost in the mud trap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 That just looks pretty kewl. The weathering on all the steel looks pretty convenceing. All the detail work looks super nice. I don't normally look in the Dioramas section but this is one that everyone needs to see. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raoul Ross Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 To me, it looks like the bearded guy is pointing, saying "There's a SNAKE in there, I saw it!" The scrap yard owner is looking for it, a little skeptical, and the dog is looking where his Human is pointing, ready for action. A Really Nice Job!

Nosferatu Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 It just keeps looking better! Amazing detail! Do you know how many hours you put into this? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Okay so I have to admit that I was trying to do two things at once when I first opened this feed and scrolled all the way to the bottom to get past the pictures of the "real" junkyard so I could see the diorama. Of course that's when it hit me that I was looking at the diorama all along. Incredible work, just incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hi Dave. Thank you for your response. Time done on this isn't so bad. Maybe a total of 30-40 hrs, give or take. I rarely time my builds, so this is just a rough guess. Due to the amount of detail I can understand why folks think it would take me a long time. But I do things in way that is quick and straight forward without getting to iver complicated. I am not a fan of long drawn out processes. I always like to get started on something new. So I tend to get things done quicker.
