Coffee Can Diorama

[Ken Hamilton]

Okay.....I'll start the ball rolling here with a variation on the "Peanut Butter Lid" concept:
An HO-scale Coffee Can diorama.  Cutting out the side of a coffee can allowed for some
scenery that can't be worked into a flat PBL.



Just your average 60's afternoon with a car full of Juvenile Delinquents, pizza & beer....



Here's how it started:



The Merc is a chopped Woodland Scenics '49:

I always loved this one Ken, lots of imagination in such a small space.

Your work is always amazing, Ken, and the level of detailing quite impressive, especially considering this is HO.

Excellent job................. I've admired this piece before............... long and often.

Marvellous.

What a cool idea- and well executed (including the puke I guess!). Makes me think the box lid of an unfinished structure kit might make a good "space" to create a diorama. Anyway that is a neat idea and a good example for folks like me who claim to have no time for even a nominally sized diorama. Thanks.
