This will be Phase 1,the first part to be finished.I will have ready access to all the phases of the build as I go along.I planned it this way so I can use each phase as a photographic background for other diorama stories before I put it all back together to become the Backyard Flyer again.
I want to do a gangster series using models of old cars,figures etc...as well as some old classics.Should be fun!

Hi John,
That must have taken a lot of work and time! Where do you find the space to put such a large diorama?
Regards,
:)

It will only be a picture diorama using this dio as a backdrop.

Before I go much further I will have to decide about the eves trough (gutter) and downspout in the far corner,which will probably lead to a rainbarrell of some kind.
The next step will be to put a little of last years dead foliage along the boardwalk/facade.After some experimentation I decided to use an old bristle floor brush for this.

Up until this point nothing has been permanently installed,even the frame is held together with only removable screws.Well as they say in flying I have reached the point of no return and now I must start the final process,from here on in there is no going back.I keep procrastinating trying to think if there is something that I have overlooked completely. Believe me after looking at something for so long the obvious sometimes completely escapes me.If you guys see something that doesn't look right please advise me now.

After pondering the overall color for the row house trim I decided on that good old standby neutral gray .I figured the landlord would be OK with their tenants painting their individual units trim different colors.This is a Victorian house in the middle of the city and gray to me would be low maintenance as well.From the art point of view, all of this is really just window dressing for the main subject ,the airplane and the returning airman's relationship to it ,so subtlety really is the name of the game when framing the subject.

This is actually an unintended but really cool effect.Using foamboard and watercolor paper has allowed for some pretty dramatic lighting effects.Notice the warm glow that the bricks take on is actually an effect of the interior lighting.You have to be careful to properly diffuse the light but when done properly I kinda like it
