My first 1/24 scale diorama

Modeling Subjects Dioramas
1

This is my first and only 1/24 diorama I’ve attempted to date since returning to the hobby. It’s the old “Sneeky Pete”/“Alley Rat” kit and I tried for the post-apocolyptic thing. [:)] Let me know what you think. Thank you.

Techniques/tricks I used were -

  • to attach the license plate to aluminum foil to bend it etc.
  • Used rock salt for the shattered window effect
  • coffee grounds for the ashpalt road
  • Pantene hairspray that had a reaction with the acrylic paint to give the white “road salt” effect
  • I also used a two-part antiquing kit from the craft store for the rust.
  • Plenty of earth-tone pastels

Nice work. All you need now is a man and a kid pushing a trolley past it and it could be a scene from Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road”.
