1/50 Scale Display Vignette + weathered truck

Post by Charles King »

Just completed a display diorama for a customer. The scale display, is 1.2m x 0.40m x 0.40m in dimension. It is mostly for displaying 1:50 scale truck models, at exhibitions. I have come a long way and have done a lot of home made rock molds and scratch build details. I've even included handles that would make it easier to managed when moving it around. I also tried to make it as sturdy as possible, as it will be moving around quite a lot. I will also be weathering the truck combo you see on the display. I just used it to take photos of the layout in its entirety. Hope Tobias and Fredrik like it. I tried to mimic new/old patch roads, after many years of heavy traffic across this region, especially by truck drivers. The truck will be weathered with some heavy dust, so I am going to give it a try using an airbrush. Not my strongest side, but in this scale and weathering 'Middle Eastern weathering on trucks, an airbrush is the only way to go.

The model in this photo has not been weathered yet:

Here is the truck I weathered. The customer has now received both the display and the Tekno truck combo.

That's a huge combination. :o
The scenery and the truck are really nice.
I guess your customer is happy with the result.

Very happy. In fact I got another Commission from them again. This time a truck terminal.

Sorry for the late reply. I am not sure, but I can lift it with a little effort, by myself. But it is easier if you are two. :)
