Caboose Diorama

by Russ Suender
(Pottsville PA.)

I built a diorama (16" x 12") of a pond and an abandoned caboose entering a tunnel. I touched up the caboose with streaks of gray and rust-colored paint to give it a weathered look.

Then I made a pond painting the bottom a bluish color, finally adding Realistic Water(by Woodland Scenics)I'm still working on it as I need to add more details like people, etc
