olde ford

[brett]

did this one a couple of years ago , first attempt at a dio though most of the effort was directed at the truck. The tree is made from copper wire strands which were wrapped with and old bandage and dunked (litterally ) in a bucket of old paint. The foliage is some sort of fake plant I pulled apart.

there some close up pics here

Very convincing. I'd be careful on that tire swing. But maybe that explains the holes in the fence

That's a really neat dio, Brett. I guess the truck is sitting on a concrete pad and that's why there's no grass/weeds underneath it. The hole in the box works.

That's great work Brett. Very convincing. Is that a dead bird in the truck bed?

I like this a lot. Nice job on the truck. I like the passenger door inside and the hole in the bed is just right! Also the concrete inside the rusted fence posts looks real. Excellent job on a first dio.

Duh.....! That "dead bird" is a hole? Forgive me.... my eyes aren't what they used to be!

I like this diorama, and the tire swing is the perfect crowning touch! Great job, Brett. Thanks for the eye candy.

Very nice,just stay away from the tire swing, I have had a few mishaps with them over the years(One involving flying about 15 feet down the side of a bank/sloped hill after the chain broke midair.)
