Truck 'Loading Bay' Diorama WIP

[tiking]

More details added. Will be adding a bay gate( not sure what they are called) and some minor other details.




I took some out door photos(not really good ones, as it was still early in the morning), but the results were enough to let me know it looks good in the outdoors.

PHENOMINAL! What exactly is that contraption? All scratch built I presume?

Hahaha! I knew someone would finally ask that question. That is a good question. when I was putting it together, I just thought I would put something together, that will make the area, seen through the bay doors, look interesting. Maybe some kind of industrial, öcooling system or a hydralic, electrical system. The area I used to take photo will be closed.

I Made the docking bay door out some pieces of styrene.

The final bay door in place:

I then painted some thin white styrene stripes blue, for the trimming at the top edge of the building.

The bay door 'open & close' mechanism. I used a small piece I found in my 'box of tricks' and sliced up thin round styrene rod for the buttons.

The finished mechanism.

I apologies for the bad pics. But when the diorama is completed, I will take better ones. These are just WIP as you can see:

The bay door 'open & close' mechanism painted and ready to mount on the inside wall:

I scratch built a drainage pipe that will be mount between both, the brick and concrete bay walls:

I have added side roof strips to all sides of the front facing building and painted them blue:

I scratch built a canopy for the second docking bay. I thought it was necessary and adds interest to the rest of the scene.

I used cardboard corrugated roofing which made the job easy and simple. This was later glued onto the styrene piece that was the canopy.

I used my trusty nuts and bolts for the areas that were going to be mounted to the wall. As you can also see, I made some bracing as well.:

The canopy mounted in place. I think it looks ok.

I decided to redo the concrete tarmac. I knew the ground did not look right, and this I was told should be perpendicular to the building and not at an angle as it is now. So I am trying to see if I can rectify my mistake by hiding those grooves. We'll see if it works.
