It is here around the engine shop that the majority of the work is left to be done.Then the wiring must be all connected up and a few figures added to the outside. Finally ,I think that we are slowly getting there!
I was worried that the engine shop walls looked too high especially with all those vertical battens emphasizing the height.After leaning up those crates to the wall it seems to bring it all together.
This corner is very important to the success of the overall piece as it gives the viewer some nice sight lines into the workshop and hangar.

Once the engine shop wall goes on a lot of these shots will be lost forever.

I just threw some grass and weeds up against the car to see how it would look.With a little refining I think that it will be OK.

When is enough ,enough?
None of this has been glued down so now I will start removing some of the grass to find the right balance! 
I attended the annual miniatures show and sale yesterday and surprisingly I didn't buy a thing.This must be a sign that I am coming to the end!

The End!
John,
Some women after giving birth have post partem depression. Perhaps you are in the first stages of post diorama depression. Perhaps the only cure may be a great bottle of red wine; pencil and paper to start a shopping list for the next project!
Best regards Ken!
