Renovation diorama

RE#1 · Jan 27, 2023

I bought this building kit on eBay some time ago. I never checked its contents until last week. The kit was incomplete missing one wall. Shady for the seller not to mention the kit was not complete. Buyer beware. Unfortunately these kits offered by Model Masterpieces are hard to find so I won’t be able to build the complete kit. So I decided to smash the remaining kit up. I will remove some of the front wall. I am going to use a newer CAT excavator for the demolition portion.

Finished spraying concrete areas on main structure. Let dry then weather. Tomorrow I will start painting all of the building debris.

Nice! That's a great way to make something good out of a bad situation!

Letting dirt dry. Installed chain link fence line. Need to weather barricade. Still painting rubble. Waiting for excavator so I know where to put the rubble.

I have to admit, I have no idea how you manage to just "know" what to do and how to go about it.

You do know ppl make diorama's as a profession, and their nowhere near as good.

I guess the real question is whether or not people are willing to pay. These dioramas take time and everything adds up quickly. There are a lot of great modelers out there. As for the dioramas I make, I am my worst critic. Always trying to improve.
