Outdoor lighting!
The outdoor lighting does wonders for picture taking.I hope that I get the same chance with the Jenny diorama.It is so large that I plan to move it only when it is picked up.To get it out of my basement it will have to be tipped 90 deg to get it out the door which will also be a good test to see if everything is fastened down properly.I plan to have a shipping crate built for protection.

Landscaping panels.
I cut out all four landscaping panels and lacquered them.First coat about 50/50 lacquer /thinner and the 2nd 75 lacquer 25 thinner.Brush on a little extra on the edges to create a nice waterproof panel.Leave the plywood surface rough to provide for a good tooth for the glue/sand coat to come.

What's that giant car doing in the window?
 This is the first 1/16th figure that I did.It could use a little re-work but because it is the first I think that I will leave it as is.We all got to start somewhere and the average viewer probably wouldn't know the difference.

Unfortunately the lighting system is a little complicated on this my first diorama.I used RR type lighting which makes the bulbs a little more complicated to change when the burn out.They are however quite easy to get at as the hangar roof is completely removable. With all the windows,doors and plexiglass viewing portals lights are really not necessary.I put them in mostly for my own picture taking purposes which I have already done and plan to do a lot more of in the future.
Once inside the glass case I don't think that these bulbs will be changed very often anyway unless the staff up there can think of some ingenious way of doing so.This is especially true for the Jenny diorama where the windows are smaller especially on the surrounding office,engine shop and WC modules.
