JohnReid Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 I have finally reached the point with this diorama where adding even one more thing to it would probably be a mistake. Ya gotta know when enough is enough.Not that I don't have anything more that I could add but if I did it would just look cluttered.I have some left over figures,engines,lots of junk yard stuff,even a Wright brothers 1/16th scale engine.I am not planning anymore 1/16th stuff right now but of course that could always change down the road,so I will store it all for now. Next up will be the G scale "Once Upon a Time In The West"RR piece to finish,then the peregrine falcon sculpture to finish as well and then I will begin "Wild Bills " 1/10th scale old west stage coach.

havanaholly Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 You can always come up with another 1:16 setting, with that creative imagination of yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnReid Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 I hot glued the tree on to a piece of board and hung the swing to a limb.Later I will re-melt the glue and then put the whole assembly permanently into the diorama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoalaSam Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I almost had a heart attack! i saw the old truck and thought how cute, and then I scrolled down the page to see what looked like the skeleton of the old truck! The rusty remains look so realistic! How fun it must be to create these dioramas! Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
