Camwader Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Another iteration of my scrap yard. This diorama is a transient affair, set up on my work bench for photo sessions when I’ve something new to add to it, and then cleared away again. It would be nice to have enough space to leave it set up, but that’s not practical in my house. The additions which prompted today’s session are a Corvette Stingray, built from a very old Monogram kit, and a Jaguar E-Type, a brand new Norev diecast which I’ve just ruined. I’d already nicked the Corvette’s engine for another project, so it made sense to portray it as a non-runner. I’m currently working on a later Revell version of the same kit, which will be a nice shiny hot rod. 29 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRMRL Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 That's extraordinary. For me the mini sitting on top of whatever it is looks fabulous, and exactly how I'd imagine a car scrap yard. I also can't ignore the dead leaves sitting around the place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 A big block C2 Corvette, sat in a scrapyard. Oh my. Keep calm, don't show too much interest, keep things light. He might not know what he's got sat there... 'That one son, it's an L88 427 car. The engine is in the shed. So are the racing wheels. You interested? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You interested? Tony, The reason the C2 doesn’t have an engine is because I used it in this C1. Edited January 26 by Camwader 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 As a Classic car enthusiast I love this diorama, although it's really tempting not to launch a rescue mission to restore them ! Fantastic job, congratulations 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlxBNE Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Love this diorama. The contrast of rusted old hulks and a classic hot rod looking like a lovingly restored vehicle really show off your modelling and painting skills. Great photos, thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
