JRutman Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I severely needed a break from the daily contention and violence on the news so I took a little sidestep in my hobby. I decided to do a medium sized civilian based scene. It is fairly far along but here is a teaser.

JRutman Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Joe,Dora9 and Dan man, Thanks guys for the gret words of encouragement. Dan,I am also inspired by the work you do as well bubba ! Keep on pluggin along like I do and maybe one day will will get to where we want to be ! Here are some progress pics. I got the wood chopping area almost done and Mr cat came to inspect. also got to play around with 3 different firms' take on flowers. I also installed some bushes along the road. This is a lot of fun for me and really outside my wheelhouse so I am getting a kick out of it. Thanks for looking folks, J Bill Cross, easixpedro, Joe66 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I love the big range of leaf variety. One of the very many little touches that make your dioramas so lifelike. Jim JRutman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRutman Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Clumsy and Mr Joe, Thanks Gents for the kind words. Working on a rabbit hutch today and a small shed. J ClumsyDude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 J You have to be kidding! The first few photos I needed to do a triple take, as I couldn't tell if is wasn't an actual scenic photo and not part of your diorama. Geez, what a magnificent touch Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRutman Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Thanks Pete, Here ya go. Rabbit hutch done. It is just sitting there for the mo and when I wrestle it into its' final position I will make sure the closing strings conform to gravity better. I didn't get too involved here because there will be a small shed roof covering it and so it won't be seen all that much.
