Just got done with my first diorama
Posted by Gunners mate on Thursday, December 11, 2008 2:02 AM

 

 

Hello, just got done with my first diorama, I've work on it off and on for about 4 months. It's done in 1/24 more or less, the base is 30"x 24". At first I thought I bit off more than I could chew but I just started in one corner and went for it. I started with a plywood base then a roofing tile, it's easy to dig into for dips or pot holes.  Hope ya like it and any comments or idea's are welcome.

 to see all the pictures go to photobucket.com  and put javathehut4 on the search line

Thanks to Al, I can see the picture, and I like what I see! That's a pretty cool dio there. Lots of little details. Is it mostly scratchbuilt?

Yea, I like it.  Very... homey?  I dunno, looks like a slice of life, I like it.

   Hello All,  the building is stick built from garage plans I found on the internet, the roof shingles are cut from the cedar dividers in cigar boxes, I know there not to 1/24th scale, I'm not that much of a masochist. The bench, shelves, the fence (picket is store bought) is all scratch built.

  The inspiration is from the garages from my youth, we NEVER had a garage that was for a car. Just workshops for working on cars, planes, military vehicles.

I think this is just gorgeous!

I just love old rusty cars! And the amount of details you have included is just staggering--everywhere I look I can see something catching my eye! 

Very, very well done! Cool [8D]Thumbs Up [tup]

Gunners mate,  that garage looks like the run-down one I used to rent when I lived in SW Phila. back in the late 50's and early 60's. The only difference is I had a '53 Chevy convertable in there instead of your '54 hardtop. Fantastic job. Bow [bow]Bow [bow]Make a Toast [#toast]Make a Toast [#toast]
