Svedberg Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) The dioaram I have been building, and described in this thread is done. Here are a some pictures. The cab is empty. Where has the driver gone? Here he is. Tending to urgent needs! Is the driver drunk? Starring eyes and the helmet askew 🙂 Edited September 10, 2023 by Svedberg Bad image links. 28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had quite the time getting that little sub-scene together. The hardest part was finding a suitable figure. In the end I used the one below. The angles of the arms are not 100% correct for what he is supposed to be up to. But it is close enough, when seen from behind. 😉 Apart from that, I filed away at his parka to make it more like a shorter jacket and loosing the hood. The hard hat is from the original (sitting) driver that came included with the Hasegawa excavator kit. The reflective striping is plain household aluminum foil.

Yes, that would be more like it. Not tea though. Rather coffee in paper cups. But in my scene they are all off on an early lunch, leaving the poor driver behind. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devo Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Excellent diorama. That digger operator was on the ball, he did a fine job not damaging those underground services! The comfort break he is having is oh so true as well. For extra added realism, you should also add a half dozen Council workers leaning on their shovels staring aimlessly into the trench as well.
