Oops!😬 Someone drove their 1/64 car into the river!

Hi all. Hope you get a kick out of this build. I had been thinking of a build featuring lit headlights under water... You know, to capture that murky glow. Anyway, this is what I came up with. I certainly learned a lot building this one and I got to give credit where its due. ‪@NightShiftScaleModels‬ has some great info on epoxy resin water techniques and effects.. So if you're not familiar with his work, I'd suggest checking out his channel. Beautiful work!
Thanks! And hope you enjoy the video!

[@pacificcoastminiatures]

I know it may sound weird, but the dome light being on is probably the part I like best - most modellers probably would have missed that.Overall the diorama is great!

[@VicsModShop]

I almost forgot to add it.😄 Thank you!

[@VicsModShop]

My first time making a resin water feature.. and I added lighting. So there were moments I was a little nervous, but overall I think it came out pretty good! Thanks for stopping by! Please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed this! Thanks!

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Full watch and share. Great work as always. You outdid yourself with this one. AWESOME !!! The murky water looks so good . And the fact that you left the car mint new , makes it all look so real . WOW . I am working on a 57 Nomad delivery wagon , diorama . Using a lot of your techniques and tips . Mike .

[@VicsModShop]

Thanks so much, Mike! This one was a bit of a challenge… logistics etc. And thanks to the magic of video editing, I was able to hide several screw-ups! 😂😂

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

We can’t see them . Great work.

i use to love doing dioramas a lot. i stopped in 2008...been thinking about getting back into customs again. not sure yet...my shop is still here i work in it almost everyday doing other hobbies... love the headlight and tail lights working...under water.. fantastic job..

[@VicsModShop]

Thank you! Yeah I go a little crazy if I’m not making something. Radio Control was getting too expensive and I needed a hobby that didn’t take up much space. So 1/64 ended being a good choice for me.

[@leeburke4060]

ya these lil cars i loved working on. i use to take on customer orders. it took the fun out of it. my first year doing this i did like 70 to 80 customs. and 3 event's and 4 or 5 custom contest. i was beat ...and didn't take on anymore orders. just before i quit i started doing movie cars. the car..crazy larry and dirty mary.. mad max..then i got into doing street racer cars like farm truck ..azion's vw...and . cheif's gto. the nova and the rest of the crew. there still sitting here..i have no way to show them off anymore...i closed my site down and deleted my work..right now i enjoy looking at others customs. I like what i see here...later lee @@VicsModShop

*His was a judge.. so it's cool* - 😂 What would you suggest for doing a 4x4 squarebody crew thats been sitting under a tree for 30+ years & has lots of moss growing on it but it's rescuable? Haha Amazing build, looks great! What LED lights & cement did you use as well?

[@VicsModShop]

The LED lights are were prewired SMD. Little tiny things.. and I used CA glue and UV resin for the headlights. But for the whole build I probably use 5 different adhesives.

[@VicsModShop]

Thanks! And for moss, hmmm.. I might suggest the finest turf flocking you can find mixed with acrylic medium or modpodge. Or just sculpt the moss shapes with acrylic paste and paint it.

[@bennyc6694]

@@VicsModShop that's great, definitely worth checking out! How long does a battery last & remain active for display? Moss tips sound great, I'll keep that in mind for sure & try some different things, Can't wait to see the next one! Keep rockin! 🤘🤘

You know, I’m not sure about the battery life… I’m sure many hours. But I only turn them on to show it off for a few minutes at a time.

Do you actually put popsicle sticks to stop the resin from pouring?! It just showed you applying tape 🤔

[@VicsModShop]

I used the stick to add rigidity to the tape..By itself, the tape was a bit wobbly. I actually did the pour in two steps. Sorry the resin sequence wasn’t as clear as it could’ve been.

[@DarkDioStudio]

@@VicsModShop lol. Thank you so much for the explanation. I just wanted to be clear but yes, tape doesn’t make it very sturdy. that I know as well.
