A few updates

Painted the cement blocks and started working on the base.
For the asphalt effect I used glue and thin sand. As to the jungle ground used glue and paper towels.

Now this could be awesome. How are you going to do the Rex?

Thanks. Being this a low budget built I got a T-Rex toy from a kids store (actually the T-Rex was the more pricey thing in this project once I decided to go for a detailed high quality one ).

Finished the fence and the lights.
The Jeep track is also done and weathered the asphalt a bit.
The vegetation is almost complete

Done!

Made the T-Rex sign just for fun. Once it's not in the original scene, haven't decided if it'll stay on the diorama or not.

Love these dioramas! Scary fun. Excellent detail as well. The sign adds a bit of whimsy.

Thank you again, Hemble. Not exactly a diorama (more of a display) but thanks for your comment

Very nice. A diorama of the T-Rex tearing up the Explorer would be awesome as well.

Thanks. Actualy my first idea was to include the jeep but I couldn't find a proper scaled one
I may indeed make a new one with just the T-Rex tearing up the jeep (if I can find an Explorer at an affordable price )

My brother used to have the original toy explorer. I wonder if you could find that somewhere and detail it up to look more realistic.
