Volvo Ew160c Diorama (not complete)

Ok. Here is where I am with this 'toy conversion'diorama project so far. The results speak for themselves. It is not complete yet. Still have to add more details, boom arm and weathering. This is just to show you all the overall look of the diorama.


The container is from an old project. I re-painted and re-weathered it, and made it to look even more delapidated.


I converted a toy 1/24 scale excavator model,for a diorama I was planning. This particular excavator is a model of the Volvo Ew160c model. There are some things that are a bit off, but in general overall look, it is pretty similar. I wanted to try and modify it to look like a show piece. 


 I will be adding a figure or two and some accessories. I still have to weather the engine. Will post some photos of that next week. Still need to add the boom arm and small other details that will complete the model. Hope you enjoy the photos so far.

En rejäl uppgradering från tråkig leksak till ett underbart vädrat o målat konstverk

Helt fantastiskt!

Part 2:

Another update to this diorama, I am still working on. I finally added the boom to the diorama.So far I am liking the whole scene. Did quite a lot of modifications and some scratch building to get it to look descent enough for display. 
I painted and modified the engine with some scratch built parts as well. I also added an old truck axle from my previous vignette to this scene. I thought it would add interest, instead of a stand-alone vignette, as it was before.

Added the first hydraulic to the front of the vehicle. It was also detailed with some scratch built parts. I added some hanging cables from the side of the cab to make it look like they are working the internal cables and hydraulics of the machine. Just some added interest.

Started on the first figure for the diorama. Not my best attribute but its a start to making the diorama look lively. Hope you like the progress so far.

Imponerande!!!!!

Vilket konstverk, riktigt riktigt snyggt. 

Tack er två.

Det blir bättre och bättre!

Jodå. Tack att du tycker det.

Added the figures and details to the diorama. Unfortunately the figures did not turn out as nice as I would have it. The figures are from Fugimi racing set and they are not the best. The facial feature was a hassle to get right with pretty much no detail expression or lines at all. This made it harder to paint especially with the little skills as a figure painter. But I did my best and the results are better than not having figures on the board. The overall effect is better with figures, so it made sense to include them. Hope you all like the update. Thanks for looking.

Det blir svårare och svårare att se om det är en modell eller foto av riktiga arbetsmaskiner

Även om figurernas detaljering inte är i samma klass som resten bidrar dom definitivt till miljön i ditt diorama. Jag håller med om att dom skall vara med

Fantastiskt jobb som vanligt, Charles

Tack Tommy för det. Du förstår själv. Jag ska gå över ansiktet, lite gran för att får dem att ser lite bättre ut. Ska försöka i alla fall.

Snyggt dio Charles!

Tack Håkan.
