Harry P. Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 That truck could pass for the real thing. Very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiking Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Thanks to you both. Dave, the truck chassi was originally used as an experimental military truck with armors. I removed the cab and built a new one. I jusr re-weathered the chassi and added a few other details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Twister Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 The diorama is really impressive and the subtle (not to heavy) weathering puts it over the top. Beautiful work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Outstanding weathering, and very nice subject matter too. And I can't believe you used styrofoam for the base and made it look so good. Excellent all around. Thanks for sharing, Charles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent all around. Thanks for sharing, Charles. Thanks Virgil. I will eventually use wooden frames around the base to hide the not-so-pretty surface. Maybe a pic frame all around would look nice.

Dr. Cranky Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 A lot of military modelers do that to their dioramas . . . use a picture frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
