There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I have decided to add more depth to this diorama .
I think that this is what I am going to do.Where you now see blue sky I will put the split garage doors on either side of the opening.Behind where you now see the tanker I will build another wooden wall or fence set at the same angle as the tanker.The garage doors can be set at an angle to block any unwanted views.I should be able to accomplish all this without adding more than a few inches to the rear of the diorama.I opened the garage doors and put the tanker out there as a test.I think that I like the idea.I was going to do this originally but at the time I was limited by the TV cabinet that it was supposed to go into.Now that I don't have that worry about that anymore,well here goes!
(Note:Those figures were originally flat but now they are a little too shiny, which was caused by too much handling,I will have to tone them down a bit with a wash or using pastels.)

Hi guys ! thanks for all your kind comments,they really do mean a lot to me.
I was a budding pilot and flying instructor until an aircraft accident forced me to give that up.After many years in flight ops and working at a model of HMS Victory in my spare time, I went into art full time about 25 years ago.I taught wood sculpture to adults for 11 years.Around age 60 I decided to get into dioramas and have been doing that ever since.
The Canada Aviation Museum in Ottawa liked my work so I offered to donate them for educational purposes.Cheers! John.:wave:

Hi! My motto is buy what you can ,build what you must ,as the storyline is the most important element in any diorama.I would estimate that my dioramas are about 80%-90% scratchbuilt.:ernae:
