Hi James!I was looking through your gallery the other day and came across your painting"Tomorrow Brings the Dawn".It has inspired me to do my next diorama on the Wright Flyer.I want to do a scene much like the one you have depicted in your painting.I already have two models of The Flyer 3 one in 1/12th scale and the other in 1/16th(Model Expo).
I will be using the 1/16th model in this next diorama which I hope to have underway in the next year or so after I finish the Jenny.Anyway it gives me lots of time for research.
I have lots of info on the Flyer so thats not a problem but I want to do a scene in the shack at Kitty Hawk.I have most of the published pics I think but I need info on how the inside of the shack looked.From the angle of your painting it looks like the view is through the rear door(if there was one) of the shack.Did most of the furnishings come from your imagination or were you able to find some pics on this?
Where can I buy a print? I already have a photocopy on the workbench to keep me inspired.Cheers! John.

Sorry I had to post this here as there seems to be no other way.
