Here I have temporarily propped up the backwall to check for clearances.I think that it is the logical place to start .The Ford truck will be loading bits and pieces from the Jenny military basketcase ,to take to the junkyard.(work goes on even on Remembrance Day)
The Ford diecast is really heavy and it would be a disaster if it ever came loose ,so I will have to secure it well.The figures are temporarily positioned,one loading some junk on the van and the other, Bonnie, the barnstormer's girlfriend,is looking on.Bonnie looks a little tough but she is a daredevil wingwalker and stuntwoman and a very independent women for the era.
The fellow looking into the cockpit is a little too tall as he is still standing on his resin base.

The last two pics give you an idea of the general arrangement of the figures.There will be at least 12 figures just on the main hangar floor.The twelfth figure will be another barnstormer pilot standing alone near the OX5 engine.
The van will be hauling off salvageable parts and pieces not needed for the barnstormer.The junk will be piled at the garage door in cans.The van has been provided with four wires for attachment to the floor.

This is the Jenny at the CAM.I took this pic yesterday while attending the air meet in Ottawa.Being a Sunday there was no Admin around to grant me access to do a walkaround.Maybe next time when I return to discuss the presentation cases for the dioramas.There is also a nice little theater there,right beside the airplane that shows a short film to honor Jenny's contribution to aviation here in Canada.
