Here’s that diorama I gave the preview of a while ago. A tropical island scene built into a bookshelf. The ship was my first wooden model, after 31 years of building and scratch building plastic kits, and it was the hardest one to date! So, I wanted to make a worthwhile case for it. Details abound, look for gulls on the shore, bird poop on the rocks in the background and palm trees with trunks of wire and glue-soaked tissue paper, painted brown and topped with some kit-supplied’ leaves. The rocks are from sample collected over the years during trips to the beach with the kids… Speaking of kids, I put a dog, cat and bunny in there that I reposition occasionally to constantly keep them on the ‘search’.
