Sometimes while cruising the web you stumble across photographs that would lend themselves to dioramas with little or no change.
This photo (from the Life archive) IMHO would make a stunning diorama.
Anyone up to it?

Hi Charles,
That LIFE archive really does have some stunning photos.
Great dio idea. Thanks for volunteering to undertake this dio. What scale will you be doing it in?

Hi Rudi,
Tell you what....I'll build the FW190 in 1:32 if you sculpt all the sheep in that scale! Ship them to me from the great land of oz and we'll have a dio!

Touché, Charles,

Of course there are plenty of subjects to view and study here, when undertaking such a commission

(p.s. I'm guessing the Wallace & Grommit sheep is not the type you'd be looking for?
