My road diorama


Recommended Posts

I'm going to try something different, a diorama with a tractor on the road just to put on my shelf, i have the road all sorted i'm just not sure what to do about a background, whether to have one with just blue sky and a bit of greenery, or whether to leave it blank, i'm not quite sure what would look better, the blue sky might look a bit more realistic but could still look a bit bland, just wondering what you think would be best?

i think you should do a hedge row with a burn running beside it and some of that grass matting which comes in short medium and long and have your tractor half on the grass and half on the road.

Well, i've done the road and the foot path, just need to add a background and a few other finishing touches, kerbs didn't come out as i would've liked, i wanted them a bit more grey, but never mind.

As for the background, i've decided to do a print on a 2ft x 1ft board, but i'm not sure whether to buy a print from somebody else, or whether to go to a printing place and print one of my own pictures.

looks really good Josh that Fendt fills the road haha  ;D ;D ;D

no criticism but i would have used small screws and screwed the foot paths from the bottom so that there would be no nail head showing ;)

i know, bit of a wide model that one really, i think its the size of the wheels on her to be honest, and i know about the nails, but you can't see them too much so it doesn't really matter  ;)
