Maybe not nasty dioramas, but I've seen a few grisly military miniature vignettes with dead or dying SS types lacking a limb.
If anyone ever puts out a line of 1/32nd scale skeletons and bones I'm sure they could get very creative:
Teutoberger Wald
Verdun
Little Big Horn
Isandlhwana
My old workbench is now in the playroom with the old computer on it. The underside of the unit is still multi-coloured from where I wiped off my Polyclens-soaked brushes. Due to its proximity to the furnace I can't paint there anymore - my family has the most sensitive noses I've ever run into.

My bench fell down.
And about the overspray on my car in the car port, from spray cans.
Why do the cats have a difficult time breathing when I use Testor Gloss coat lacquer in the house, in the winter, when the window has to be closed?

I give my dog a good whif of isopropano every once and a while. Keeps him honest and away from my teensy workbench. Rumor around my house is that I'll get a new workbench for Christmas. (Sigh :-/)
In the meantime, I'm sweating out the return of my car.... a new thermostat, and radiator, and she still runs hot. Now they're telling me I probably need a new water pump. Grrrrr >  >

Greetings class. The answer to what diorama was commissioned in 1798 is, the '1796 Battle of Lodi' commissioned by Napolean imperor of France. *Directional Flow is the attitude that action in a diorama is directed to. The Focal Attitude of a diorama may be real or assumed. *That is it may be present or assumed because a figure is it or refering to it. *That is pointing at, looking at, running to or away from.
The natural habitat of aircraft are:
1. The Sky
* * Climbing, Descending, level fight, banking.
2. The Ground
* * Taxiing, serviced or repair,assembly,type testing,acceptance, parked, crashed, salvaged.
3. The Water (float planes)
* *On the surface parked, taxiing or crashed.
Don't think that an idea is weak if you need a nameplate to explain your idea. But keep your placard description to one page no more than 3 paragraphs.
1. Aircraft Type
2. Kit and list the modifications you made.
3. What machine is being represented and the *
* *decal versions that you employed.
In my displays I like to include photocopies of the real deal that I used to model from. NEVER allow the wings or any portion of your model to extend beyond the edge of your ground simulation.
Your next homework assignment is pages 14-32 of our text. *Pop Quiz: What is 'Gizmology'

Gizmology: Is this the use of scatchbuilt machinery, vehicles, etc., that the aircraft or main subject of a diorama is placed with in order to add realism, i.e., make the diorama "busy", and more true-to-life?

To Neil E:
A "pirate" Glencoe institute? Sounds very mysterious. Calling Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, what?  :
