tiking Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I have been working on a 1/50 scale diorama for someone. It's a truck dock that will handle about 6 trucks. Docks for 4 full fledged truck and trailer and two single trucks without their trailers. Lots of fittings with bits and pieces of XPS to get things to fit perfectly or close. Used lots of XPS to make the structure light but more sturdy. So far so good. The total dimension will be 60 x 100cm. I got an Ikea flat table board to use as a base for this diorama. I also have detailing on the roof, but have to do some painting first. Just commissioned a friend to do some 3D objects for me, for the roof. The 3D drawings look fantastic.

We'll see how the end results will turn out. So far things are coming together nicely. And so it begins: Stage 1, forming: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I may have said this in one of your previous builds, but it needs to be said again of this one, WOW! Simply, fabulously realistic. Wear, weeds, and weathering. Just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
