1/64 scale Scrap Yard.

I wanted to share a 1/64 diorama of a scrap yard I built years back. After showing pics of it on the interent and the response from others that customize 1/64, I got hooked on the hobby. Recently I had a contest where I sent out castings I wanted to be customized to look like what you would find at on old scrap yard and here is what everyone came up with. The details are sick and it goes to so with some imagination, anything is possible.





Some single shots of each entry for the contest.

 

Way Cool Man!!

 

Wow, looks like the real deal!

 

wow! i could stare at that all day!

 

That is really cool

 

The 57 Chevy Nomad gets my pick as the best of the bunch!
Way Cool!

 

For sale?

 

Very cool. It appears the photography is just as important.

 

Seem to have alot of T-bone hits but where are the front hits that did all that damage? lol

 

hey my son needs a left fender for his hot wheels shoebox, got any?

 

pretty cool. don't forget the dogs and/or sheep

 

the rust on the VW is very convincing. Did you do it with rust coloured paint, or did you leave it out in the kid's back yard for a few years?

 

That '57 will buff right out..

Way cool..

 

Thats really neat.My 6 year old son has his own hot wheels boneyard. They are just broken cars though.

I used to try to make damaged cars when I was a kid, using a hammer, or the vise..
They never turned out right. Looks like you heated them up??

 

Man that's cool as hell. looks like the real thing, now you just need some nasty puddles, 4 old cranes piled up to the doors with scrap(but some how they still move), and a couple greasy old guys. Then it would be just like my local scrap yard. oh and it needs a meth head getting arrested with a van full of copper wire and pipe that was stripped from a housing development.
Oh how'd you do the rust on that stuff?

 

I see some good fixer uppers in there.

 

that's bitchin dude, never seen anything like it.. i like the slug bug.. looks the most real

 

NICE YARD ..Now keep the EPA away so they don't close ya down !!!

 

Looks like my old Hotwheels did when I was a kid, cool!

 

That is too cool ! How big is it over all ? , and where do you keep it ? (I'd have it in my livingroom !)

 

as cool as fuck!

 

Meth , you're a sick puppy. I like the little tidbits laying around the yard like they fell off the cars too. You've got an imagination.

 

For sale? NEVER. I'll check and see if I have an shoebox parts. LOL
Rust is done in different ways, they is kits you can buy at a hobby store, or flat colored paints. I use a type of powder that gives a neat effect. Not sure what they used with these entries. Not sure the size cause I never measured, but it fits in my display case that is over my Big Screen TV.

 

Here are more pics if you want to check them out.

That's awesome man, I want my back yard to look like that someday......only bigger.

 

I like it....a...lot!

 

Ain't that the damnest thing you ever seen. Neat as hell...Ole Pork

 

too cool- btw i might have a wrecking yard for you to clean out, either that or its being sent to the crusher!

 

good stuff!!
