Re-Do Take Two

[mackinac359]

Back in early 2006 I built this diorama.

I didn't really like how it looked, so a while late I redid it.

I still didn't like it as it just wasn't big enough(I was always breaking off an exhaust when removing a model after

photographing it). It also just didn't look proportional.

So I decided to redo it yet again.

I bought $20 worth of foam core board and went to town.

Note: Above, I fixed the corner seam that drove me nuts

Here's the inspiration

I have plenty of detail yet to add. This one is larger, more cumbersome to move, but it allows for more

camera angles and better lighting.

More pics onMy Workbench page.

Thanks for looking!

Looks pretty good, Tim. Nice attention to detail on the diorama.

Your stuff just amazes me Tim, What a great way to show off your work. Are you going to leave the top open, or do a ceiling and lights? Either way, very nice!

hey Tim, ya know, when i/we can't tell if it's real or a pic, it makes it tough...like the trailer pic in MCM, is that the kit or the 1:1??? anyway, fantastic work!!

The photo in Truckers Corner was the model. The lighting, backdrop, camera angle all came together for a

nice photo.

I was about to say no cheating by putting real pics in, then I realized that the bottom on WAS a real pic. Amazing!
