Hi Guys, just wanted to show you a project I did this past winter. I had been trying to come up with an idea that I had not seen before ,
and could be modeled in a small space. The dio is 24' x 24'. This was a fun project and I am very happy with the results.
What do you think, how does it look ?
Thanks for looking, Tim

Very cool detail with the concrete and weeds poking through. There are so many fine details added throughout (like the spilled tarring from the roof along the edge) and the weathering is great. The empty sign frame is a nice touch.

Thanks so much for sharing.

That's a blue ribbon winner. I would have never thought of that idea. Terrific. CAW

The angles you take the photos at make it perfect- very realistic. The dio is super detailed also.

Outstanding detail, and you thought it out very well. Reminds me of a Clark Gas Station. Just the right amount of equipment as a lot of dios are way to crowded. Applause Applause Whatever Ken

Very realistic with your weathering, out door background and photo angles.
Great job.

I'm calling your bluff that is way to realistic to be models, just kidding that is awesome and very realistic it took me a second to realize the first picture was scale models. My hat's off to you for the awesome job!!!!

Very well done, I will echo others here and say at first I thought it was real. Not over done with detail.

Another superb diorama and the realism is so close that for a second or two I thought the first photo was to show the real scene Applause

Looks like "front page of a scale modeling magazine" class to me.

It's great to see some well done weathering here.

Congratulations !

Stephane
