      Hi Syd! everything is glued and pinned down permanently .With the doors closed the diorama was originally designed as a self contained, dust proof unit.Now that I am expanding the doors will be left open and a case built over the whole thing.This will be done by the museum.

      Zowie, the realism on that is staggering. It's definitely museum worthy.

      John your craftsmanship is awesome, that's a given. But as I look at each of your photos they begin to tell a story, the more I view them, the deeper I spiral into the tale they weave. Pure genius and wonderful stories from the day.

      Normally there would be a wood plank ramp laid down over the central door panel but obviously this aircraft will not be going anywhere for awhile .
      I will put more wear and tear (tire impressions etc)in the area where the aircraft would be rolled out on to the ramp.Once I get it in the sunlight I will decide where more vegetation may be needed.
      The whole thing looks a little vacant right now but I plan on adding a horse drawn wagon,wheelbarrow and other odds and ends off to the side of the front panel as I don't want to much there to distract the viewer from the main subject.The crashed Albatros will be added behind the L/H hangar door and won't be readily viewable from this angle.

      Back to Jenny for awhile.
      The Camel bridges two of the landscaping panels which I only realized could be a problem till now.Will have to think about this! Either join the two panels together,figure out some way of easily separating the airplane from the truck or using two removable wheel screws instead of just one for stability.
