Looks really good.I like the rust treatment and the general grimey look you have inflicted onto the model.Needs someone to rescue it and give it a full restoration!!!

Thanks for the reply guys.

Jayson62: There is actually no door under the tarp. That's why the tarp is there... :grinyes:

Thanks for the compliments. As for the duration, I make the dents, rust, flat tyres and broken windshield is about a month on and off (should take only a few days). Painting of the models just take 2 days because there is no need to make the paint shine :icon16: and a week of rusting, mud and oil treatment on the car.

The groundwork takes about a week non stop including building the fence, the dead tree, gravel road and mud pool.

So, all in all it took me about a month and a half to complete this diorama (not including a year time-off on the car to concentrate on other builds :lol: )

That's got to be one of the coolest little dioramas i've ever seen. Not sure how 'faithful' the car is though, hehe.

Wow that looks great, It is funny though, most people spend the time to make a car look as clean and shiny as possible, and you do the opposite, And I like yours just as much, if not more. great job

Nice diorama. I love your rust on your car, but not the tree. But good effort on it. And if the grass on some angle is alot more long, it might look perfect, just my :2cents: :icon16:

I can't find the words. :shakehead That is awsome, great detail and very realistic build. Now you should build the same kit with the same detail going the other way. Make it shiny and clean, kind of a before and after. :2cents:

Thanks for the suggestion. I myself is also not satisfied on the outcome of the tree. It is actually a rushed job and the tree is painted in only a few hours... thus the reason that it does not look good.

This diorama will go through some facelifting to make it looks better, maybe with some long grasses and other minute addition to give the overall "left out" feel.

To others, thanks for all your comments and feedbacks.
