My junkyard diorama and its car's. DU Waring!

[ONEBADMK8]

These are shots of the two cars Im featuring in my junkyard diorama.

This is my first serious attempt at a realistic diorama.

What do you think of the cars so far?

Believeable?

The first car is an MPC Vintage 1985 "Royal Knight" 1/24 scale El Camino.







The Second car is a Revell 1/24 scale 1967 Plymouth GTX









Heres some more pics.

For the under carriage I mixed yellow/red/flat black and mildly drybrushed with testors steel.

Here are some more shots.







Heres the fence Im building on half the groundwork. I even used my very own last Name on the sign. I made the sign in Photoshop 7.0 in a 600 dpi .jpg format. I then printed it on Kodak high gloss photo paper complete with a bass wood frame.

This sign will be TRASHED when Im done. the fence came out "OK" I guess, for my first one it was tough, took me 2.5 hours to make 16 inches?

Im going to dirty the fence up and hang junk on it and what not. It will be sweet.








Heres another angle of the GTX which now sports a basswood hood prop, neatly splintered too!





Heres some more shots of the fence work and signage I made today.

Before:



After:







Heres the sign progress as of today.

Above is some good shots of the Beware Of Dog, Entrance and Trespassing signs. I made these in Photoshop 7.0. If you guys need any crazy or custom sign, I mean anything, I can do it on PS7, just name it.

Heres the third car in my junkyard.

Its another 67 GTX by Revell.

I dremeled off the front drivers fender and door as well as the trunk (Which will be getting custom made hinges and it will be posed open).

Im really rusting this one out bad!! Its been here forever! LOL!

Its also my first vinyl top attempt too.

What do you think?

This shot is my favorite.













This is tough decision making as far as the layout of the cars and parts go. What do you guys think of this layout?

Please note the cars are NOT finished yet.





















Heres a great shot of the rust and grime.

Wow thats really good! Someone obviously knows too much about rusting cars!! Great job!

[ONEBADMK8]

Actually I know shit about rust. This was my first diorama and my first rust attempt. Its a steel wool pad that was left in 1/2 water to rust. Then brush it on.

Ive been on that site since it started 2 years ago. I contributed two Torino's in the Ford section. That site is disturbing!

These were all built to perfection then destroyed.
