tiking Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 (edited) I thought I'd put together a small dio that somewhat depicts vehicles fallen to IED's or heavy attacks which left them totally destroyed and unusable. I had seen quite a few pics of badly damaged vehicles, beyond repairs, just put into a heap or collected together and placed into a 'Junkyard' type for damaged vehicles. So this is my loose representation of such yards during the Iraqi War... _______________________ Edited February 17, 2011 by tiking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

802chrisg Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 One of the best diorama themes I have seen in a while. Tells a story in a very simple quiet way. Very nice job. Thanks for sharing. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M. Knights Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Very nice job. Nice to see a dio that isn't just a bunch of stuff thrown on a base with no regard to story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiking Posted December 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Thank you sirs. Nice to know you approve of this theme. I am still adding to this dio, so it is not 100% complete. I am getting it ready for a show in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiking Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Had a change of heart and decided to end the Gun truck, I was working on seprately, life and add it to the Fallen Armor dio. Even added a dog as this was also common in these yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiking Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks but now i have completely changed the size of the dio... boneYard is the name of this one. ... Second and final version of the 'Fallen Armor' dio I've been working on. I decided to scrap the older version due to it's size. I decided I wanted something more compact. So here it is. Nothing new except the container has been repainted and chipped. Altered some parts on the vehicles and added some stuff but otherwise, the theme is the same. The name has also been changed to what it was meant to be called in the first place. _______________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty White Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 A GREAT diorama! Wonderful techniques everywhere from ground cover to rust, to the ripped down poster on the truck. If you have no objection, I do have one SMALL constructive criticism. It seems unusual that I don't see one blade of grass or weeds growing around anything. I have been to a lot of salvage yards, and even the most pristine still have weeds around. Just an observation FWIW. Sorry about the nit pick.
