John Franklin sent these photos of his latest diorama project called "The Breakdown." John used two Herpa log trucks adding fine wire for air lines and copper rings from the jewelry department as air line supports along the stringer pole of the trailer. The two figures are from Preiser and Woodland Scenics with all the landscape materials from Woodland Scenics. The water effects were also done using materials from Woodland Scenics. The guardrail was done with matchsticks stained and sewing tread glued to each stick. This is what it would look like in the fall on an old logging road in Oregon somewhere.
