Yard Art

[Chuck Most]

Loosely based on a local bit of land. Main attractions are the AMT 1972 Chevrolet C10 and the body and interior from the AMT 1966 Chevrolet Nova Pro Street kit. Various shrubbery and whatnot came from Woodland Scenics, JTT Scenery Products, Bachmann, and Gamer Grass. This is also something of a practice run for a small rural salvage yard idea I've had in mind for a while. The mailbox was scratch built. Also never mind the fact that the Woodland Scenics flags are blowing into the wind, as indicated by the wind turbines in the background. ?

Beautiful looking diorama. Like the "land scaping" with the mower lines around the cars. The vegetation is all realistic looking.

Very nicely done and fun to look at!

Wow,you did a great job.You know you could’ve used a weed wacker to get rid of that grass growing around the cars.?.And speaking of cars,they also look great.??

Though I included it in the post but here's the real life inspiration. I took a few liberties but this is where I got the idea...

Excellent job on this!

Didn't know if I liked it at first, but as time goes by, it grows on you!

Good job!

Man, that truck looks straight and saveable! Nice idea but kind of a shame for it to go back to the earth with so much left.

Very creative idea that has been well executed.

We just got a parts car for our 60 Buick. We are going to load it with skeletons and put in the front yard for Halloween (we live in rural Iowa).

More decoration than yard art. 

BTW - Before anyone asks   - the parts car has a perfect crack free dash, It was parked in a timber when Nixon was president, so the dash never got any sunlight.

Very nicely weathered, and packed full of detail!

Local radio station used to do something similar with an old Ford sedan delivery.
