Re: How I build large scale dioramas!

This is a pic from my latest diorama "Keepers of the Flame" 1918-1927.
The Ford truck is a modified 1/16th diecast by Gearbox.
The diorama is going to the Canada Aviation Museum in Ottawa when it is finally finished.I have been working on this for almost 6 years now. More pics to follow.Cheers! John.

Re: How I build large scale dioramas!

I have been running this build on some of the aircraft modeling sites for awhile but I can post the build here to if you like.I hope to have the whole thing done by next spring.I have 3 dioramas going to the CAM for educational purposes and I have one to do for the RAF Museum London UK.These are all donations so I have no time pressures to worry about. Cheers! John.

John, all I can say is: WOW! I'm a non-profit myself (I HAVE no profit! ) Would you do one for me? Just kidding, of course. Excellent work.
