Thank you Patrick for all the input! I really appreciate you taking the time to help me think this thing through.When the nice weather finally gets here,I think that I will take the whole thing outside and get a better view of the overall composition and scale of the project.
I know that you are right about just how often it would be taken apart for maintenance etc...I guess that I will just have to live with the fact that if a light bulb burns out ,it may just have to stay that way for awhile.That is why I am taking so many pics so I have a record of how it looked when it first rolled out of the shop. Like I said nothing about this diorama is written in stone ,and to be honest that is the way I like to operate ,as it keeps me interested too not knowing exactly where it will end up.(Art is never finished,it just stops in interesting places)

It is sometimes a lot of fun to take a few objects and make a sort of vignette of them.In this case a leaky rad and old gas tank and an antique gas can make a nice little composition.The sides on the canvas have yet to be glued to the floor but it gives you guys an idea of what I mean.

Starting to bring it together!
Here is my first attempt to bring the composition together.This is a kind of a sub-story line ,the completion of the dismantling of the JN 1 ,for parts ,for the Canuck.I think that it looks a little too formal in its presentation right now ,but it gives you an idea of where I am going with this.Some things still need painting and more weathering.The wingtip of the other Jenny will fill in the empty space.

2nd OX5 engine.
Awhile back I started on the 2nd OX5 engine for this diorama.I still would like to finish it .The question is where to put it? It is a really interesting engine and should be seen relatively close up to be able to appreciate all the details.I have a choice of leaving it in new condition or weathering it.The engine on the Canuck is a different model than this one, which is more common on the JN4.
Although it would be a little hard to see, it may act as a nice focal point where the grouping of the three figures are ,at the back of the hangar.Sort of gives them something to talk about!Or I could set it out on the ramp area ready to be hauled off to the dump or being delivered new in the crate near the engine shop.
