tiking Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Been working on this for the last 3 days now and this is what I put together. Hope you all approve. If you look closely you'll see some bird eggs inside the right side headlight. The wheel lugs or bolts are on the ground next to the tireless axle. Edited June 10, 2012 by tiking
GTMust Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 I can't believe the amazing quality and imagination built into your work Charles. Outstanding! Tony
Sixties Sam Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Excellent work! The weathering is perfect. Love the bird's nest in the headlight bucket! Very cool diorama and model! Sam
Intmd8r Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Excellent work! The weathering is perfect. Love the bird's nest in the headlight bucket! Very cool diorama and model! Sam Didn't these things come from the factory with rust? Seriously though, great job!
cobraman Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Very nice work. I like what you used for the base.
Dr. Cranky Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Very well done. Love it. Excellent work, and THANK YOU for sharing it.
KHamilton Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Bravo! The whole package fits together perfectly, from the VW to the split-level base to the fantastic trees. You've got a good eye for balance and composition and your building techniques make it all work. Great job.
sports850 Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Excellent work Charles , I love your attention to the small details like the birdsnest in the headlight bucket .
tiking Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 Thanks for looking in fellows. Much appreciated. And you Ken for your responses on both boards.
tiking Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 Here are a couple of pics of a few added details and from another angle:
Barbo Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Great work, or may I say....Wnderful piece of Art...Barbo
Shardik Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Extraordinary! I'm impressed by the level of detail; right down to the ruber window gaskets. The only thing missing is a carpet of pine needles on the roof. I'd be interested to know how you made the trees. They're some of the most realistic that I've seen.

Here is an article I wrote for Armorama, explaining how I did it:http://armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=2626
Shardik Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Thank you, Charles, for sharing your technique and the stunning results.

Also, some pictures of the tops of the trees. How far up into them did you go. Looks very realistic, very nicely done.
