Junk yard

[rv1963]

Here are a bunch of pics of my junk yard i finished it about a year ago it's my first and only diorama, it doesn't really tell a story but there are a lot of little details to see and it should keep you busy for a few minutes finding them. Any and all comments welcome and yes i know the spider is a little out of scale think of it as a large tarantula.

it looks good

nice weathering

where did you find the short block ?

i've been meaning to build a garage diorama and that would look good in it

[rv1963]

Looks great RV. I like the spider. Not too big from where I can see. Like you said...a big hairy tarantula. I like the details and the weathering. The only thing I would suggest is to make sure you drill out the hub and lug nuts when displaying a wheel that is disconnected from a car.

Well done!!!!!!

[Harry P.]

That's pretty cool. And I like the "junkyard dog"... nice touch!

[rv1963]

Thanks guys, that's a good idea with with the lug nuts i will remember that.

Thanks it was a fun build.

My first thought when I looked at this dio was, "Its an abandoned street rod project". The detail and weathering are outstanding! All the elements are there, extra engines, rusty chrome wheels, other hot rod parts sitting around. Great job.

You did a nice job of weathering the car. It looks like it's from the southwest.
