Keys to great dios
Hi Mark! Nice to have your imput.Yes,I can well appreciate your difficulties in your chosen medium, although I dont have any experience with it myself.
You mentioned the randomness of the bolts on the floor idea.Believe it or not ,while the idea was discovered accidentally by my son,I spent quite awhile dropping and re-dropping that box of nuts&bolts off the table until I got it just right.Then I glued them individually to the floor.Crazy Huh!
I enjoy The Magic in you work,especially the flying scenes.They seem to appeal to me because of my experiences flying when I was younger.I spent many years flying in the right hand seat, as a flying instuctor or co-pilot, and your piece,J5 Blitz,really caught my eye.For a split second I was there.Looking out the right hand cockpit window to see a beauiiful Albatros falling off my right wingtip.I kind of experienced the excitment of wanting to follow him down on the attack.There lies The Magic.
Stephen,I dont think that believable = reality.This is why I find a kids reality so fascinating.Your Ragwing piece is a sort of believable flight of fantasy and as far as I am concerned that is why I find it so appealing.Have you ever shown it to a group of kids? I would love to get their reactions.
On another subject,it has been said that Dioramas are the highest expression of what we do as Modelers.What do you guys think?
Jenny update,I will be installing the instrument panels today.
