I decided some time ago to build an exterior to my Albatros diorama which includes another wrecked Albatros Here is where I am now!

What is an exterior to an Albatros diorama? Can you show us pictures of the diorama, by the sounds of it you have finished the actual groundwork? What scale is it? Did you scratchbuild this Albatros? Tell us more!

If you included some information along with the pictures I'm sure you will get more comments.

I don't plan to do a lot more of this burnt fabric stuff on the wings,just enough to get the flash over scenario across to the viewer. I don't want it to look overdone.
Speaking about overdone,I am again facing the old problem of when to stop.
Besides finishing up the landscaping and maybe putting a little junk out the back of the hangar, maybe I should stop here.There are no ground vehicles or figures outside the hangar, as I have done with the Jenny, but somehow I feel the the dog and airplane are enough.The R/H side of the hangar is plexiglass and the front is to be left open for an unobstructed view into the hangar ,so there really is no room now for any other large items.The fact that it is a military scene would also cut down on the "junk lying around" factor.
On the other hand maybe a small wheelbarrow leaning up against one of the hangar doors.......

The scene is from his original thread, although Part 1 seems to have no more pictures.

I don't know what would be outside next to the other Albatross, but a wheelbarrow sounds good. Maybe some tools in it or something. I was thinking some air tanks standing next to the hangar, but would they be using them?

I don't have much to say really, except this is awe inspiring. All the details, the atmosphere, it's great. This guy is obviously a master.

I love playing around with the lighting to get different effects.Boxed dioramas are best for this and with todays digital cameras you can get instant feedback on the results and play with it until you are satisfied.I often will just point the camera and shoot with very little setup,sometimes the results can be quite surprising. It is really easy on the pocketbook to take multiple shots and then erase the ones you don't like.
I find that I often like the pictures more than the diorama itself.
