Hello again,
I would like to share with you all another diorama. I completed this one back in 2014
CONSTRUCTION
Diecast model 1955 Ford Thunderbird, the engine was re-built from scratch to give more realism since the original was made of a chunk of plastic. The original seats were replaced from a hand made custom leather one. The barn garage was inspired by old photographs from 50's era. Main structure made using balsa wood and plywood. Plaster and foam was used on the wall. Most itens were scratch built and also I've used some resin parts from various kits. Installed a small intern electrical system that runs under the second floor workdesk. That can be turn on and off using batteries.
PAINTING & MARKINGS
Mainly used acrylics and oils. Dry pastels and pigments to achieve the rust effects.
Hope you all like it. 
Thank you.
