you know I am really torn between the idea of the museum and something simpler.
The whole storyline of the Wright Flyer will be the sense of wonderment that the boy and his grandfather share when looking up at the airplane.Do I really need all the extras(besides I am getting fed up building buildings and not airplanes)The museum idea would be just another complicated build. Maybe this time I should go with the KISS principal and the windtunnel idea that I talked about earlier.I am a woodcarver, so I was thinking maybe I should carve a windtunnel out of walnut or whatever and place the airplane and figures in there.(obviously the windtunnel would not be running)Maybe the grandfather is a aeroengineer bringing his grandson to show him where he works.The ideas are really two extremes of complication but the simpler one would still tell the story and in the end maybe more powerful for the viewer if not too many other things are going on.Artistically it is also nice to have the contrast between the simplicity of the windtunnel in natural wood and the realism of the complicated airplane.Hmmmm....Cheers! John.
