Certainly is a great philosophy and the work in that diorama is just amazing.

At the rear R//H corner of the diorama, sitting on the loadiing dock awaiting packaging and shipment ,is an old Curtiss OX5 engine from the JN4 that is being being robbed for parts as it sits in the hangar.This is a very early water cooled, in -line engine developed by Curtiss in the early in the last century and really is worth a closer look.

Along the rear wall of the engine shop the Camel wings are being crated for the trip to Hollywood.Originally it was planned to load everything on one truck with the wings being lashed to the fuselage sides but it looks now like another truck will have to be sent to pickup the wings and flight surfaces.

Very interesting concept. Its stirred a few ideas for my 'War of the Worlds' diorama in that I wanted to tell a slice of the story rather than just a static scene. I always envisaged that the 'modelling' would be secondary to the scene created. I may add a foreground- shattered buildings of London for instance and I'm seriously thinking about mixing different scales to give it a wider expanse and draw in the viewer if you like. Are tableaux and diorama the same?- I'm not sure, but modellers are storytellers I think, bringing history to life, provoking thought and interest about the background to a scene. "Thats a nice model" may compliment us but does it do justice to what we have created?.

Here's something- a model of the remains of a spitfire being recovered from the ground, with modern vehicles crowded around- a juxtapostion of history and now and, maybe alongside that, the same spit as it would of appeared during the Battle of Britain? is that still a model or something much more?.
