Me again B) Just before hitting the sack last night I thought of a couple of ideas for simple yet effective dioramas(I think)Imagine an aircraft in a field that has taxied up to an old farms outhouse.You could show tracks in the snow leading to the outhouse and not even have to make a figure yet the mere thought of human presence will bring it alive and let your viewer connect the dots.I bet that little scenerio took place more than once in wartime or flying the mail.While we are in the realm of bodily functions ,how about this little vingette that could be made from just about nothing at all.If you want to bring a smile to an old fighter pilots face you could simply create the following scene.Put an aircrafts wheel tracks in the snow where it has just taxied away for take off.Put a little yellow spot in the snow where the aircrafts side would have been and title it , Taking a Nervous One.You see how simple it is when you let your imagination play around a bit.These two ideas may not be everyones cup of tea but the point is the diorama does not have to be big and showy to be effective.I tend to do large,complicated dioramas because that is in my nature but sometimes simplicity is even more effective in telling a stroy. Cheers! John.
