Welcome to Smiggin's Folly
 

This is my backyard tiny truck place for dolls and trucks. I've been working on it since the spring of this year. I have spent many hours toiling in the dirt and rocks. The rules for said tiny truck place are as follows: No Wraiths, no Wronchos, no Lexan, no wrestling figures, no cowl hoods, no Jeeps. Breaking the rules is punishable by death or a maximum of $50 fine.

Here it is. Tell me what you think.

You didn't say anything about mud trucks!! I'll be there soon. I do like the tiny rock garden to the left though, makes me feel happy.


Looks great, Richard! I know there is more to it than that though. :wink:

Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly
 

Mud trucks are welcome... only if they are Lexan Jeeps.


More? Oh yeah, I added some more rocks and couple of trees.

Looks super nice

...On Wraith axles, got it! 8)


Super job on the cwarler garden and gorge, man! Definitely my most favorite. I was always curious to see the rest of it after you posted up the FJ video.

Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly
 

Unbelievable. So beautiful.

You create art with little turks.

Nice job.

Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly
 

Wow! Thanks for sharing, that looks as scale as your turks and jerps. Like Tedo said your an artist. "thumbsup"

Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly
 

Nice off-road park you got there! How aboot renting a backhoe and making a trench down the fence line to carve out a nice Rubicon style trail?? ;-)

Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly
 

Let me know when there is an trail ride...I'll try to make it up.

Great work.

Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly
 

Well, my word....did you get permission to use cement in the back yard, young man?!

I'll not attend your scale truck soiree. There are many rocks there to scratch my paint.

Wicket play ground!

Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly
 

Thanks!
Thank you. Yeah, I guess I forgot to post this. I didn't know if you guys liked dolls and stuff over here.
Thank you.:oops:
Very kind, thank you.
Thanks but no thanks!
Anytime you're in the neighborhood.
Yes, I sent a certified letter to my congressman and he approved it. The only way to scratch your paint here is if your truck drives upside down. Pretty easy course.
:mrgreen:

Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly
 

Nice truck.

Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly
 

What's wrong with cowls? What about tinted windows to keep dust out of the interior?

Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly
 

I like trucks!
Everything. Do tinted windows keep dust out of interiors better than clear windows?



Pappy Smiggin needs a home for the winter. I'm starting with a Speedweigand camper which was originally designed to fit the Hilux body. I'll be modifying it to my taste, err Pappy's that is.

Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly
 

Ermagerd, that means all I can drive there is my toyota with the tailgate going the correct way. Guess I have to drive the rest without a body. Not gonna lie I'm in love. I have maybe 1:10 of your area but still use it every chance I get . MORE PLEASE MR ALBERT

Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly
 

what did you use to paint/die the concert

that thing is amazing

Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly
 

Dye made specifically for concrete. It comes in a concentrated form and I diluted to my liking. I built up the color with a few washes of different colors to give it a natural look.
