I took an old1/18th Ford model A truck bed and made a 1/16th cart out of it.

Here's how !

Hi guys ! This will not be a step-by-step "how to" as most of my methodology has already been covered on this forum and elsewhere.This is more about how to convert one thing to another by using a little creative thinking.
The dioramas that I am doing now mix many modeling genre s together,cars,trucks,figures etc....The cars and trucks are mostly plastic kits or highly modified die-cast conversions.
In this instance it is a 1/18th Ford Model A that I had lying around the shop.

Well the first order of business was to remove the cab from the truck bed which was done carefully with a small hack saw.Once removed I then set about preparing the shiny painted surfaces for what was about to come.

A large scale diorama can be built for taking pictures of all types of models.They can be built expressly for that purpose or as in my case as a temporary backdrop before I ship it off.This backdrop was originally made for my airplane diorama "The Road Taken".The airplane has been temporary stored in my home and can be re-installed back in the diorama in as little as five minutes.Actually I have more fun taking pictures than the actual modeling and in some cases I like the pictures better than the model or diorama.Storyboarding using your own pictures is also a lot of fun too when using them in a picture book or album.In my case the storyboard albums will be for members of my family and friends because the real thing will be gone to a better home.
This thread is about ideas not a specific type or genre of modeling.Website owners please feel free to move it or delete it at your own discretion if you feel that it does not meet the standards of your site.I don't mind,honest !
