More of a diorama or vignette under re-construction.
Originally built in early 80s it became a dust collector, with my new found photo tools crisp clear close ups
create new challenges in detail and painting.

Old "MO" will soon become new and improved "MO" Note how once green moss turned red over the years
certainly to be corrected. New home made stowage and tarps etc.. to be added of course.

Always liked this one and don't want it to sink into dust covered oblivion, plus it serves as an alternate
project to give my eyes something else to look at;)

UPDATE;
Got some time off from cutting wood to do a bit on this one.
Most of old dried up moss and layers of years old dust removed , some stowage adjustments made.

Heavy dark washes applied, next step to start gradually bringing out color, hue by hue and layer by layer with intermittent pin washes until I think
she's done:rolleyes:

Thanks Robert, I enjoy re-vamping old dust collectors now and then, gives them a new life.
Have a few more oldies that will get make-overs in future;)
