This is the R/H side of module 4 and wouldn't you know it ,I broke another rule.Normally you do not want your figures looking to the outside of the diorama but have you ever known a pilot who could resist looking up at the sound of an airplane?

There wasn't a lot to finish on module 4 so I will move on to 5 now.This one contains the CNR truck and the back entrance way of the hangar,coal storage and the WC.
I couldn't find a good reference for the Ford truck used by the railway during this era but luckily when it comes to trucks just about anything goes.Ford at the time sold the frame/engine only and you could build your own, which many companies and even individuals did.For modelers this a great advantage as you can do the same.All my cars and trucks are kits or diecasts that I have highly modified for my own purposes.
The rusty hulk that you see on the right in the weeds, is actually a sports car turned into a now unused air show vehicle.

Need your opinion!

Here is the rear of the hangar as it stands now.
My wife and I are having a disagreement on the storyline here.The story reads from left to right which is what most experts recommend because the eye is used to reading this way.
