Lawfish Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) I have built a military diorama and many car and plane models. This is my first serious attempt at an automotive diorama. I have a series of photos on the build in my facebook picture albums. I'll try to link that in here. I have added two more photos (apparently I'm at my limit, even though there are only 3 photos). I'm new here, so not sure where I messed up. Every time I tried to load the picture before, it charged me for 1.7 MB of data, even though I never uploaded the photo. Much to learn, obviously. I have a 25 picture history on my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1253507702445&id=1372131969#!/profile.php?id=1372131969&sk=photos It also has albums of some of my other builds (military, car, dollhouse and tallship).

KHamilton Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Great job on the period-correct details. Great photo, too I like the seamless blend into the 1:1 background. Congrats on a very effective diorama.
Crazy Ed Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 WOW, Monterey Bay 1969. I think those folks gave me a ride when I was hitchhiking on Hwy 1 from Santa Cruz!
Foxer Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Very impressive! The overall photo is spectacular ... I can smell the salt!
Sixties Sam Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Beautiful! Lots of character, and very well detailed. Great dio! Sam
Austin T Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Aww,did I miss the Bob Dylan concert?I want a few coolers,those are epic.If you cast some of this stuff pm me.
jerseyjunker1 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 WOW i am back in 1969 on the beach. i love the whole scenario you have there. show winner.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Thanks for the eye candy. Love the pictures too.
Lawfish Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 Thanks for all the comments, guys. Dr. Cranky, I was especially waiting for your input since you are a fellow Transylvanian. My macro photos were taken using the recommendations in your book, which I thoroughly enjoyed. From taking lots of bad photos of my models just sitting on the workbench and using flash and all, I've figured out that how you photograph can either make a so-so model look great or make an outstanding model look bad.
Bartster Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 GROOVY,man! I'd love to see the doors closed as well as the other side of the bus.
Lawfish Posted February 19, 2012 Author Posted February 19, 2012 Bartster: I posted a link to my facebook page in the initial post. Follow that link and you can see the full build, including the doors (which look horrible closed) and the back side of the van. There are also pics of the interior with a mysterious bag of green stuff on the front seat.
David G. Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Nailed It! I love all the little details. David G.
dannyi Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 WOW, that is just too cool, beautiful work on this Rick!
Lawfish Posted March 21, 2012 Author Posted March 21, 2012 Wow! What a treat to get positive feedback from the one and only Chuck Doan. I was enthralled with your work featured in Dr. Cranky's book. It was a real inspiration for completing my bus dio. Thanks.
Dominik Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 That looks great !! x2 The first picture is....simply "wow"...speechless.
