Smile Moving things around/Billboard trailer

I decided to move the Canuck more towards the front of the diorama and put the 2nd set of JN4D wings along the back wall and the towcar off to the side.This really frees up a lot of space for the Harley/billboard trailer.Funny how it goes ,last nite I just cound not see this ,then I slept on it, and voila an easy solution.In fact bringing the airplane closer to the hangar doors will really improve the view of the engine/cockpit areas.I mayalso split the figures into two groups when I put them in the diorama.
I plan to have fun with the billboard/Harley trailer and have it advertising Reids Flying Circus I also want to put up some kind of banner welcoming the veterans to the flying field.Jeez,this is one hell of a lot of fun creating this little 1/16th world
I actually started on the trailer today.I had a couple of old Model T wheels left over from another project as well as a chassis.I cut up the chassis so that just the basic frame is left along with the rear wheels mud gaurds.I also had one leaf spring left over so I mounted it crosswise.I now have a basic trailer so now the scratchbuilding can begin.Good thing I have learned to never throw out leftover parts from other projects.You just never know....

I will be taking some new pics tomorrow so they should be up soon.
To be cont.........
