I built this little diorama to house my 2012 SCX World Proxy car in its retirement. Since its completion, the car and diorama have been in residence at the Koonara Wines cellar door in Penola. This was actually the first of these 'out of the box' dioramas that I built, but was unable to show it until now.
It started off with a base of stained pine and 3mm MDF.
Contouring was added with some scraps of floristry foam.
Mud applied which is a mixture of paint, joint compound and crushed rock.
When dried I sponged the surface back to expose more of the rock.
Static grass mix added with a puffer bottle, a very green blend for a change.
Long grass and the frames for the vines.
Then the vines themselves.
And finally leaves, which are once again from a laser cut Kamazukuri paper kit.
The finished product.
