Welcome RBG!

I got your PM , RBG! Please feel free to ask any questions you have for me using this thread.That way we can all share the fun.
This thread is meant to be a two way thing not just a personal monologue as it has mostly turned out to be.
Welcome aboard and please consider doing a diorama somewhere down the road.They can be loads of fun.
Cheers! John.

1st attempt at groundcover!

It is within this black bordered area that I plan my first attempt at doing a bit of groundcover .I plan to make it in modular form screwing it on from underneath.Along the foundation I will put waxpaper to prevent any of the materials from sticking to it.In this area I plan to put mostly a wooden walkway and step up into the office surrounded by a sandy soil and some well worn fall greenery.There will be a finish walnut molding between the black border and the groundcover which will be mounted on a thinner piece of plywood.
One nice feature of this arrangement is that all the modules surrounding the hangar can be removed thereby allowing the whole thing to be disassembled if necessary in the future.A lot of the pictures that I am now taking ,are for the museum ,so that they will know the proper sequence of how to take it apart.

I think that this will be the year.If I decide to build the
Camel aircraft on a trailer I will do it next winter but that would
not hamper me from finishing the rest by fall.The idea of putting
an dismantled airplane being towed by a truck kind of appeals to me
and would be quite different from what you usually see.After WW1 The
old Camel aircraft were sent to universities here in Canada
to be studied by their engineering departments.
It will also give the viewer an opportunity to see an open structure
type model up close as it will be placed at the rear of the hangar
near the WC.(The driver is inside using the facilities before the
long drive).I think that it will create a lot of interest without
taking anything away from the main subject.
