Charles that folk lift truck looks outstanding, I know it was a shop bought toy, but how you have changed it to look so real is just superb

Thank you. It's ok. The plastic is a bit too greasy soft, if you know what I mean. But the overall look should work in the bigger scheme of things. Glad you like the results so far.

Charles your eye for detail is something else the park foods sign looks good to me and the fork lift is so realistic. this is one of those builds that raises the bar with every addition top work.

Thanks. I think I will let the sign stay as is. I wanted it to look standard and nothing fancy in terms of design is concern. Appreciate the support.

Ok fellow modelers. I have just updated this diorama. It is almost at a closure with some minor details and weathering on the trailer to be made. As you can see in the pics, I've decided the trailer to be somewhat dirty(are you surprised?). Since the trailer is the second main attraction on the diorama, I wanted it to be as detail as possible but without over-doing it. I think it looks fine. As mention, I will add a few minor details and de-toned the weathering just a little.

As you can see, I changed the building Logo from the previous one to a much simple four letter word. I made the letters one color instead of the two-color variant I had before. I added a light fixture, to each letter giving it some character detail. The forklift is in place now. I think it looks convincing.It helps to have reference shots as well. All-in-All, I'm pleased how this turned out.
