Wagon FTW 
1/18 AUTOart Volvo 850 T5R(s) Xs Two......
Okay, i took some pics of these models way back in the day, but they don't look that good, now looking back. With it being a holiday weekend here in Europe, I took my T5Rs to their familiar corporate country cousin for a photo shoot!
Man, it was WINDY , but part of one of my newer dioramas is a parking lot, so I wanted to test how it looked in shots. 😊

Literally in the 90s for the real win(s) BTCCC!!!! 😊Wagon FTW
Thanks Simon! That said, I really was using my new parking lot diorama and almost shot some newer German models, but what better at IKEA, than "Flying Bricks or Swedish Delights"?
For Germans.. what about Aldi? 😆Thanks Simon! That said, I really was using my new parking lot diorama and almost shot some newer German models, but what better at IKEA, than "Flying Bricks or Swedish Delights"?
I was just about the say the same thing, very fitting location (there's a pun there somewhere...) and also the yellow on the IKEA building is almost a perfect match for the models! Great job there, David!
Probably need a Mk3 Golf boy racer for that backdrop... preferably with a couple of ASBO-looking figures walking towards the model, carrying a 6-pack on each hand. Or at least that's the image I see every time at my local Aldi
Wow! Truly amazing shot there! The AA 850 wagon is the perfect subject for this diorama!
So the whole IKEA background is 1:18 scaled? That's quite a workmanship there! All your hard work is paid off.
So what makes you pick IKEA as the diorama subject? Just curious if there is a story behind it.
The last pic looks like the sedan is doing donuts in the empty IKEA parking lot!
I can't wait to see more shots using this diorama, with some background cars on the background (vs empty lot).
NICELY DONE!!

LOL!! Too Bad the REAL close to us turned into "Kauftland"...not as pretty corporate graphics IMO!
Aldi's parking lot is too small...lol Need to find a bog box store there...but, I have something else planned!😊
EXACTLY EVERYTHING that you said Clement!💯❗❗❗ The colors, the corporate country relation, all intentional!😊I was just about the say the same thing, very fitting location (there's a pun there somewhere...) and also the yellow on the IKEA building is almost a perfect match for the models!

LOL!! Or Meeting at the ARAL station for a point to head out
Ohh, no, no noooo! That would be too massive, that is a real IKEA, one that I thought would look good for my road diorama. I am still working on the other diorama piece that I showed you last week.😊 Thanks, Just the parking lot and cars are mine here.. Glad that it all blended seamlesslyWow! Truly amazing shot there!

I was going to shoot some other cars at IKEA, and thought, I was going to re-shoot my 850 T5Rs, so why not just shoot them there at IKEA? Makes more sense color and content wise.
If I wasn't busy with my diorama, It was originally going to be smokey burnouts (like my Challenger pics)
You will see this parking lot, but I am done with IKEA for now. I don't want to over use that location
Thanks Stefanus! Cheers!🥂
Hey Patrick! I used salt packs/cool storage to make sure that it was okay..so far mine are okay.Haven't removed my yellow Wagon from its styrofoam for ages...need to check if she's still in good condition
OT: Nice pics and great setting! Is that the IKEA in Hasselt?
No, I ALMOST went to IKEA in Hasselt, but I don't like that location enough as well as the Design of that one.🥂
Thanks Dirk!Nice models for sure.
But WOW: David these picture are just amazing and sooo cool! Looking incredibly real!! 👏
That's POTM material for sure - especially love the first two!!!
I'm glad that they came out better than I expected..it was WINDY!😳 I had to use our car to block the wind just to shoot and it was a rather quick shot as well. These are about half of the images that I used.
Thanks Again Dirk! CHEERS!🍾🥂
Thanks G!😊 I really appreciate that it came out so well. I was rushing due to the high winds😳That said, I thought that the yellow/Blue and both Swedish theme would work out well together! Glad that you also liked itThat’s a great idea and it has worked a treat! Even the IKEA colour scheme works with the Volvos. Top skills, David!
Cheers! 🍾🥂1 - 20 of 38 Posts
