The last issue of Dominion Iron (the newsletter for the Historical Construction Equipment Association of Canada) had these two photos on the back cover.
They were captioned “Fort McMurray Hot Tub” A quick google search found the originals and they screamed diorama to me.
I had an old remote controlled New Bright model of a Cat 245 excavator that was long past its prime. So I hung a beating on it and gave it a CIL tune-up (new paint job) found a base and ground the clothes off a Fujimimechanic/Tamyia Campus kid. Eventually I will replace the soapy water with some clear casting resin.
Please enjoy my project and remember “Its just a hobby”
Thanks everyone for the kind words. I’m glad that there are still characters in this world that provide us with story lines for our dioramas. They make this hobby so much eaiser to be creative
NK., There is speculation that the bubbles may be the reuslt of a northern diet that is heavy into red meat (moose) [chfck]and beer.[B]
there is nothing very complicated about the bubbles. To get some pictures I need to have water in the tub, so I shook up some soapy water and added it to the bucket. The residual bubbles are what you see by the time I got the pictures taken . Eventually I will add some clear casting resinn to simulate water when the dio goes on perminent display.
