This dramatic view of the dioramas rear combines resin castings and board on board construction. The weathering techniques exploit each of the materials to their fullest also blending them into a natural scene.
The rear corner of the side shed is overgrown with weeds. Fences and the structures themselves are natural places for details, junk, and clutter to accumulate; natural or man made.
The small loading dock is full of supplies waiting for the afternoon local freight. The faded lettering and sun-bleached barn are in stark contrast to the much newer and less weathered clapboard siding on the office and store buildings.
One final view of the fenced storage yard. Note how the clutter has been layered against the fence with weeds actually growing between and through much of the junk.
