'Australian Road Train in the outbacks'

June 8, 2024 · in Diorama · · 30 · 241

I started on a commission project commissioned by Fredrik. The theme of this project is an 'Austrailian Road Train in the outbacks'. Fredrik wanted a weathered three trailer combo with loads, placed on an outback . The diorama is 1500mm x 500mm. Yes, pretty big, but not that big. The scale is 1:50. Everything took about 3 months to complete and the client received it with joy. So I am a happy camper. ๐Ÿ™‚

  1. That's a bloody beauty mate, but Tassie doesn't have any outback, it's not big enough :p

    • Okay. I keep hearing about this and quite honestly, I had no idea. I just added the sign because it looked the part like many other signs on many of my reference photos.

  2. Wow ! this is your best work yet Charles , so realistic it's like being there...

  3. Amazing, Charles.

  4. Excellent Diorama and vehicle work.

  5. Excellent as always and extremes realistic, Charles!
    Congratulations!

  6. That sure looks great Charles! ๐Ÿคฉ The project must've taken a lot of work. ๐Ÿ‘ And it really shows, too! ๐Ÿ˜Š

  7. This is really impressive, Charles @tiking
    Most of the pictures do look like they are from a real situation, the realism is superb.
    The grass, the mud, the water, the trees, everything.
    You must have another satisfied customer added to your list.

  8. Honestly mate, that's a fantastic Dio!
    I can see, hundreds of details, but I gotta admit, you nailed the colour of the dirt!
    It's so life-like, that it deserves an award!
    Well done brother, you nailed this!
    ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š

  9. That's spectacular, everything looks very convincing. Your client must be a happy camper!

  10. The complete realism - the models, the diorama scene - is truly amazing. Everything works perfectly.

  11. Thatโ€™s outstanding! Red clay looks like the real thing. Could easily be in the Alabama wire grass or Florida panhandle.

  12. @tiking absolutely amazing, your working is stunning!

  13. I think this may be your masterpiece. Absolutely outstanding, Charles @tiking

  14. Holy smoke - that's amazing! With all the trees and shadows, it looks so real - the photography is excellent. I can't imagine trying to take a road train down a "road" like that - pretty loose definition of the term!
