PC88 on a cliff (in the making)

Post #1 by niner » Sat Jul 19, 2014 12:49 pm

I want to make this after seeing a photo online. Thought it would make an interesting dio, something you don't really see often.

I bought the Komatsu PC88 a while back and started on the wall a couple of weeks ago.

I used styrofoam for the wall and wedged it into a wooden frame so it will be freestanding.

The textured surface is just fine granite dust mixed with a watered down PVA glue mix.

I think it looks ok but somethings bothering me.

Just need to start cutting up the PC88 now. Cant get it wrong because they are hard to get hold of.

Comments or tips welcome :-)

Look positive, your next diorama could be the scrap yard, you could use it there if all else fails! :lol:
