I have been interested in the building aspect of model making. I love building dirty trucks that look used. Show trucks are great to look at but built-to-look used is what does it for me. I've been building trucks since 2011. Before that I've been building modern military vehicles since 2002. Must say that truck building is fun and nicer on the eyes, if you old chaps know what I mean.
I have added lights and a simple background interior for the inside warehouse of the truck dock diorama. The lighting is not the best, especially being my first time working the lights. I did my best, as a beginner, but at least I have [...]
This little quick 'how-to', is for a future project I am planning a 1:24 scale diorama, which is going to involve some major scratch building and many detail objects. So stay tuned. If you know me than you know how I always like to find a [...]
I am closing in on the finishing of this build. I have some details to add here and there. Then I will be figuring out how to add lights. That is another heap to jump over. But I will give it a try. The wall at the left of the dock was not [...]
A little update. I've added a third dock to the the already two that I had already made. At the very corner of the dock will be a wall, which I'm presently working on. I added another big extension to the docking bay end. This was mainly [...]
I have been working on a 1/50 scale diorama for someone. It's a truck dock that will handle about 6 trucks. Docks for 4 full fledged truck and trailer and two single trucks without their trailers. Lots of fittings with bits and pieces of [...]
Took some outside photos of the MF farm tractor that I integrated into another diorama some time ago.
Made a little vignette for a pic frame wall mount for a possible buyer. Scale is 1/35.
I've just added the figures to the dio. Again, I am no figure painting expert, but I always try to give it my utmost best. The figures were bought ready made, but I repainted them differently and because the original painting was not to my [...]
I've updated this dio by adding different shades of rust to break the monotone look of the junk in its entirety. I've also added steel rods as a load on top of the Suzuki. I've also added other smaller details here and there and add more [...]
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.
