sunday .....

i was looking in the partsboxes and found the front window of the wreck ,, that needed to be fitted from inside .. so i filed and sanded the edges of until it just fitted in from the front , then made cracks and holes in the front window



since that tyre was not hollow , i wanted to put in some scrap parts but when i tryed this steelie i liked that better , rusted the steelie and made it more orange , trying to get a few different rust toned so its not all the same ...
gave the wheels a wash so they look dirty and fit in better



overall vieuw , you can also see the horn speaker on the front of the building

i made a styrene frame and covered that with canvas , like a wind cather , painted the canvas red and gave it a coat of poweder , i want to add something on it and make it look dirty with a wash , also i will ad strings from the canvas to the frame



made a large tub , the tub itself is actually from duplo lego , sawed of the bottom , the grills on top are made from boxes they use in a labratory



better vieuw on the windcatcher , the tub just sits loose there didnt decided where to put it yet

last weekend update

the boneyard is quite finished , or at least i got the feeling its just about right and i got to watch out not to overdo it with putting stufff there


added a old straight six , the tub with on top a old fan , 2 weathered valve covers and a wooden plank , last a texaco skychief gasoline sign on the fence







some fun shots with a female figure i had ... not the most realistic one but in this evening light its kind of convinsing enough to make some fun pics

Real impressive work on the corner there. The details are just right!

thnx

added a 1930 texas licence plate , a solver fan and a small doorhandle

people needed to know i was open for buisness .. so i made a sign

now this portable sign works well with the garage sign .. that made me think i need to redo the big texaco sign and at least do the gasoline lettering in the same red as the rest !



the sign did its job , suddenly we where busy





wide vieuw of the whole .... i got a nother great idea a sign on the bottom side of the advertising pole with gassprices !!

i admire your level of patience and attention to details, it's sick, and looks unbelievable, totally superb.
Everytime i'm browsing photos you posted i'm sure that it's done and it looks amazing, but then you post some more improvements/details and i can't pick up my jaw off the floor. . .

You've probably seen this one as it's been quite popular recently.
>> Michael Paul Smith's miniature car photography <<

I really hope you do a trick shot like those ones once the diorama is "finished"*!

(*: Like 3d work, these things are never finished if you get into that mind set. )

thnx guys and yes ollite i know him .. and yes i will go outdoors and try to make shots like that ! will be fun !
og and detail wise > next in line > american style mailbox in the grass , sign with the gassprices > tyre rack with tyres > old chair outside or bench ...

and i'm sure i will think of some new ideas later on .. but its going towords completion .... and not a bad thing i already have 3 idea's for new dioramas
