    Old Concrete Road

    I've been working on a diorama for a few of my trucks. I decided I wanted an old truck yard(obviously, its me), where old or almost run down trucks and trailers can be parked. I wanted the old concrete look and miscellaneous objects lying here and there to give more visual interest. So here is...

    1:50 Scale Mini Snow Dock Diorama

    I have been working on a small snow diorama for the Oscarsson's truck and trailer I weathered a while ago for a client. I wanted to show-off the truck and trailer combo in its environment to further make it more convincing., Although, the client did not request a diorama, I thought I'd show him...

    Somebody Missed the Road

    I decided to have another go at a winter scene. The scene is based on a real scenario but different truck. The icicles were made by holding clear sprues over a candle, and slowly pulling the two halves away from each other. The frost was made using Green Stuff Frost solution. Two methods you can...

    The Swedish SBAT(Special Bulldog Allwheeldrive Terrain) - TGB 40 & TGB 30 I have been working on the second SBAT model, TGB 40 from 'Swedish Model Works. Yes, its a 1:87 scale, too darn small for my taste, yet interesting, especially with the great details. This is the 3-axle brother to the...

    'Ooops!, there goes the Holiday Bonus' Forklift Incident

    After these photos were taken, I'd realized I did not add a crucial detail. The slight damage to the ground, when the forks came in contact. Not there would have been any major difference to the ground or tarmac, but it would make for a nice effect. I will be adding that little detail. I've...

    From Cashier Paper Roll to a Rusted Steel Coil

    This little quick 'how-to', is for a future project I am planning a 1:24 scale diorama, which is going to involve some major scratch building and many detail objects. So stay tuned. If you know me than you know how I always like to find a cheap method of making things. It may not be the most...

    1:50 Scale Truck Dock/Bay Diorama – Final Photos

    I am closing in on the finishing of this build. I have some details to add here and there. Then I will be figuring out how to add lights. That is another heap to jump over. But I will give it a try. The wall at the left of the dock was not really my idea; but the client wanted it there. I...

    I have been working on a 1/50 scale diorama for someone. It's a truck dock that will handle about 6 trucks. Docks for 4 full fledged truck and trailer and two single trucks without their trailers. Lots of fittings with bits and pieces of XPS to get things to fit perfectly or close. Used lots of...

    Scrap Metal

    Not much to say here, but just experimenting. Saw a photo of a similar scene and thought I'd replicate it. Will probably add a figure or two, maybe a dog would suffice; not sure.

    Mud Trap

    I have been experimenting with different types of methods lately. This time is with mud. Yep! Good old natural mud. :) I used mud collected from a neighboring farmer's dirt road. Really fine dirt, I must add. All I did in this diorama, was add PVA glue, and a little water, and Voila! The muddy...

    Beware of Bigfoot

    I kept the weathering at a minimum on this 1/32 scale die-cast model. The diorama specially built for displaying the wheel excavator and/or any 1/32 and 1/50 scale models. I painted the stop blocks hanging on the front of the excavator and a couple of the railings a different color than the...

    Volvo F6 Beaver-tail Transport vehicle

    This build came about by converting and scratch building, the old Italeri Volvo F6 Fire ladder kit. I had bought this a couple of years ago at an exhibition together with other second hand kits for little or nothing. I did not know what to do with the kit, until recent. So, it is no more a fire...

    This diorama came about of necessity. A diorama had been destroyed by child sometime ago. I decided to reuse items from that diorama together with another diorama to to make up for the destroyed one. Most of the figures have been taken from other smaller dioramas together with newer ones to form...

    Truck Overload - Update!!!

    I decided to put the overloaded truck model in a minimilistic diorama. The plan is to take a photo of the truck from the front and overlay it within a 'Time' or some other magazine-like cover page. This view will be the view the photographer in the diorama, has taken and published as a cover...
