Diecast dioramas in 1/18th

by Carl Bosman

 

I live in Cape Town South Africa and for the past six years my hobby has been that of building 1:18 scale dioramas. Ninety percent of the tools you see featured in the various dioramas are hand built/ scratch built by myself. These include items such as drillpress, grindstone, bench vice, spanners, trolley jack, four poster lift, trailer, etc. etc.

Ertl's Dodge Charger parked in front of the spray booth ( there are working lights
fitted inside the booth)
Four poster lift is hand built. The sprintcar featured is a 'GMP' make which I sprayed
in the Renault Clio colour ( called 'golden mist')...stunning colour in the sunlight!. Trailer was hand built.
