Those figures are way beyond anything available!
Jealous.

It's nice for ignorance to be right once every so often!

With complicated weathering like this, I am tempted to think that you can't get it right straight away. I think of the John Singer Sargent/Alberto Giacometti school of painting -  put it on, take it off, put it on, take some off is the way to go. Back and forth, and maybe with things you don't normally use like pencils and erasers, watercolour pencils etc. Its an amazing opportunity to experiment. I can't wait to see the next iteration

Just like yours, Hauk. The plane is a plastic part I found in a box with some H0 scale items. It was just right for my purpose.

Yes, if you bring them with you. If you have additional questions, ask Nick. He's the expert. -- Russ

Russ, I haven't been in the corner in awhile, are there snacks?

Although I completely agree with you, Bill, go stand in the corner! -- Russ

Those guys are going to really 'flesh out' your diorama. They are terrific.

Another outstanding figure provided by Frithjof to accompany Luke, the gas station attendant.

Thank you all for your interest,
Yes large scale minium space, but also how can you get your displays to an acceptable viewing height when you don't want to travel with a frame
My problem is what to put in and what to delete,
My display boxes that can be stacked are made of a combination 1 ,3 ,6,9 and 15 mm pine veneer plywood. Most are cut by my local panel supplier, but I also have a detail-cut table saw at Home.
These boxes are strong but also light, but the trick is what you can do with these boxes.
Lights, sound, backscenes in layers, fun and games
Remember everything has to fit into our boxes: power supplies, controllers etc.
Cheers

I look forward to seeing how the diorama progresses. -- Russ
