Here are some "early stage" pix of a new 1/24th scale diorama project.
It's a former small motel office (with the neon sign still out front)
that's been converted into an antique/junk shop. The structure is just
a basic framed building; the siding will be individual clapboards and
board/batten construction:
Here's the current state of the back wall. Most of this will be covered with floor-to-ceiling junk,
but some of it will show:
This is just a mock-up to get the feel of how it will look inside.
Furniture is both scratchbuilt and 1/24th scale doll house stuff (
refinsihed and weathered) with some home-made photo-etched parts,
like the ivy and wire milk crates:
One more close up before I leave. Once the interior stuff is permanently
placed it'll get additional weathering far a more dusty, dank look.
Thanks for looking.
For a few more in-progress shots, you're invited to check out my Fotki album:
