Barn find cars are the kind of cars you can find out there, in a farm, in the countryside, forgotten, waiting to be restored. I think it's a very interesting concept. You can see a brand-new car, and it's just a car, but a barn find car makes you wonder about its story, how it ended up getting rusty in a farm, and how it will look after being restored.
I created this diorama to display this kind of car. It's a diorama
of a countryside scene with a road, a fence, a tree, a windmill and a
few crates, wheels and spare parts scattered around the land. I used
realistic colors like dark tan, dark orange or green olive, but I also
used bright red or yellow for the cars, or bright green for the grass.
I think it creates a good contrast and makes the build very colorful.
I included three different cars: An old red tow truck, a rusty
muscle car and a classic convertible. In the yard, you can find
different parts to restore and modify the muscle car and the yellow convertible.
The muscle car has two different front parts, one with front
lights and a rusty grille, and the other one with the radiators
exposed. In the diorama, the car is displayed without the front wheels
(that are placed in boxes next to the car) and showing two rusty disc
brakes.
The yellow convertible has two different versions (one rusty, one
brand new) set of parts, including the trunk, one door and the front
right wing. You can use the radiator part of the muscle car in this
one too, I used the same building technique.
Thank you!
