I took the old JL casting I weathered and aged and created this little desk diorama from scratch... I made the fence from small tree twigs, picked up a few little tiny pebbles and some moss I purchased at my local hobby shop... I took it to show the owner of the hobby shop and he put it in his display case... He ask me if it was for sale, I replied, sure if the price was right... He offered me 25 bucks for it and sold it later that day for $34.95... I couldn't believe it sold for that much !!!

good work

Well Dont stop now, you have a nice little diecast fundraiser there or at least you can trade the shop some dios for some products u need for your own stuff. Tell him you will take requests for certain castings also. Take it a run with it till it dries up or someone else will!!!!!!! Nice work Dude!!!!!!!!!

Nice work man!
Very well done.

Very well done. I can see why he was anxious to get it.

Very nice job! Looks like you've found a way to make some extra toy spending money. :thumbsup:

Awesome desk top diorama!

Don't stop now. Make a few more and take them back to the hobby shop.

Very nice job, you have a lot of talent. Don't know how you get the car to look that old but I like it a lot:thumbsup:

great job. as said before trade out with the owner but get enough supplys to build 6 to 1
example= the bottled grass sells for 11 bucks thats enough grass for probbly 6 or 7 dio's
use all you can to get what you can. then comes the profit. again nice job.

Nice job. Very realistic looking.

That is really cool, you did an awesome job on it!

Sweeeeeet!

Looks wild man. An online friend has been building these little dioramas for years. Here is a pic of one of his latest.
