Modeling the Macabre
Story:
So 'the Junkyard' made it's way home.
This was an effort from ten years back to use up all the scrap from my 1/72nd scale aircraft builds as a forced perspective centerpiece on a friend's O Gauge model railroad. Since he's getting rid of his collection, I've reeled it back in to retool as a HO (1/87th) German junkyard.
Originally just stacking bits and pieces on a small sheet of scrap lexan; with white glue, bits of aluminum foil and flocking. Shortcomings (like visible seams) are obvious, but consider the size of the originally intended platform no observer would have been close enough to whine about that. Since I suspect eyeballs will be closer for this go-around, I'm going to get artsy-fartsy.
I've slipped in a Sherman hulk and will probably add some viney vegetation, maybe even a perimeter fence from wire mesh to duplicate chain link. Ultimately, I'd like it to have a Stalenhag vibe.

Gas stations in Ludlow (in the Mojave) turn around for some abandoned buildings.
My wife went into that house on a trip - I wasn't brave enough/know about rotting wood and snakes hiding out in the cool shade under a house.
Also, Roy's Cafe in Amboy, a few miles East of Ludlow
