Scrap Metal
This article is part of a series:
Not much to say here, but just experimenting. Saw a photo of a similar scene and thought I'd replicate it. Will probably add a figure or two, not sure. But a dog would probably be added if the figures do not work out.
What you need Charles is a Junk Yard dog. In the states I've come across some yards with German Shepard's or
Rottweilers.
I like your approach to modeling . . . out box and seeing the world from a different perspective.
Two thumbs up.
Thanks Stephen. I have a dog that I can put into the scene. Will test it out. Thank you.
Unusual but very well done dio.
Thanks for the tips, because they've helped my improve my weathering skills.
Hi Dan. Trying to remember the tips I gave you. Sorry, my memory is bad. ๐
It's okay. I've been studying the weathering techniques you use and trying to replicate them on my work.
Ahaaaa! Okay. Thank you. Appreciate your kind words. ๐ Always glad to help anyway I can.
Fantastic work!
Thanks Michel. ๐
As usual, it is really hard to convince myself I am not looking at a 1:1 scale.
Congratulations, my friend Charles!
Thank you Spiros.
At first,I was looking for the dio,for I tought it was the real deal!Congratulations!
Thanks a lot. ๐
Incredible realistic looks, Charles @tiking
Even though every diorama of you looks perfect already, the next one still looks even better, like this one.
Another excellent build.
My humble thanks John.
You can't kid me! That IS an actual junkyard!
Great work (as usual) Charles.
Thank you kindly Tom.
Here, Charles takes his modeling skills/results to levels of realism rarely, if ever, seen. Absolutely WONDERful.
Very kind and uplifting words from you Bod. I do appreciate your encouraging words. Thanks.
Thatโs some serious scrap metal! I really believe that only you, Mr King, is capable of pulling off this kind of modeling. Once again, weโll done!
Awwwwwww! Although there are many others who can do it better than me, I will take those words with great humbleness and encouragement. Thank you. ๐
I have to admit Charles at first I thought these were your reference pictures for a dio to follow, a proper scabby looking dog chained to a rotten old kennel would add a bit more , not that it needs it this is brilliant as usual, well done.
Neil, I had already thought about adding a figure(but wasn't sure), but a dog will be added. Thank you.
Amazing workโฆ it looks like photos of a real scene.
Thank you. Here is the actual image that inspired this scene, along with images collected.

So realistic! ok another deserved tile... Long live the King of the Junk yard!
HAHAHAHA!
Rust never sleeps. And you never fail to impress Charles! More great work from the master of disaster! ?
HeHe! Thank you kindly. Much appreciated.
Nice job, Charles (@tiking). It takes some real skill to create a diorama that doesn't look staged, and you have done it perfectly.
Kind words. Thank you so much.
