Diorama re-creation of Benthic Petroleum Petrol Station from Terminator 2
Concept of this project was to re-create the gas pumps area of the petrol station with the police car model as seen in the film. With every project I first decide what is the time frame in relation to the film timeline. Artwork can be and exact replica in both time and space of a specific film scene or could be partially or loosely inspired to it. After some research and brainstorming I decided to re-create accurately the space but with slightly different time frame. In T2 the police car passes underneath the petrol station at night and immediately goes inside the garage where it will be left by John, Sarah and the Terminator. In my version, time has passed by, grass has grown and further damages are evident to the overall structure. Several years since that night for sure. In the middle of the station, even if not entirely in a logical series of events, sits the damaged 1983 Ford LTD Crown Victoria police car from the Pescadero Mental Hospital.
