I've been in the hobby industry for about 15 years, worked in Hollywood before that (as a scenic artist) and have been building models and dioramas ever since I was a kid.
One of the best pieces of advise I can give you Is to just walk away from your model once in a while to get a fresh perspective. Read the whole piece at;

I agree, this is posted on at least three different diorama forums and points to a miniscule opinion not really worth reading.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I'm just a small manufacturer (and advertiser of this site) trying to make a go of it in very tough economic times. Thanks to all who took enough time to check it out.

Randy, if you would participate actively and constructevily in the forum and put a banner below your posts to advertise your site (like a lot do), that would probably bring more hits for your site and not be viewed so bad.
Just my opinion

Geez, I hate to be one of those Internet Grammar Cops, but this is something that I see all the time on forums and elsewhere: The incorrect substitution of "advise" for "advice." "Advise" is a verb. The word you want here is "advice."
Sorry, just had to say it.
By the way, nice diorama buildings. I might get one of those.
