Tom Daniel Tijuana Taxi Diorama

[SpikeSchumacher]

Hello Everyone,

This is something I threw together for an old build of mine. All of the cactus (cacti?) are from a company called Epic Basing and are 3d printed. Everything else is a combination of various scenery materials. The adobe and the base are made out of 1" pink insulation foam.

Cheers,

Mathias

Fantastic!

Too cool.  I think about trying a diorama but that's as far as it ever gets.

[ChrisR]

Awesome!

Fabulous Work! Looks great!

[Bugatti Fan]

A really nice model build of the Tijuana Taxi and the diorama setting is just brilliant. The base edging if stained and polished and a nameplate added would finish off the diorama beautifully.

That’s just straight up cool! Great job on the Taxi, too! Perfect setting for the car!

[TarheelRick]

Great looking scene you have created. Some really nice detail work.  The only thing missing is a rattlesnake hiding somewhere,

[TonyK]

Always enjoy looking at a good diorama as it shows the builders imagination and skill. This one is great! A fun subject.

Thanks! Waiting for some Sculpy Clay to arrive to make a rattlesnake chasing the chicken running down to creek bed at the rear. May throw in a Gila monster somewhere as well ?

Yes, I was debating about staining the edges of the base. I have ordered some Black 2.0 to finish it off with.

Excellent diorama and TJ Taxi !  The paint and detail is incredible !

I've done some looking and am wondering where I could buy some of the Epic Basing Cactus ?  No FB account here and even there saw nothing about purchasing their stuff .
