I don't really know the destination for this piece, as it was commissioned for the Fest by our own Dipstick and Mini-Motors. But I know he has plans for several things (including this one) to be auctioned off in some form for the ADDWC.

It was Dips suggestion that I somehow include a Stupid Squirrel custom into the diorama and I though that was a great idea. John has not been feeling well for some time, and I thought it was a good fit to include him in this project. After all, many of my dioramas for been a partnership with the Squirrel and this just felt right.

The fun was in looking through my personal inventory and trying to select an appropriate casting. This little tractor just sort of jumped out at me. The casting determined the direction of the project as opposed to the more common method, where you conceive a vision and make the casting fit the idea.

I've never done any real rural theme and for sure never a tractor, so this was a lot of fun and out of the ordinary for me. Hope you guys like the end result, thanks for the look!
