From his posts, it is obvious he doesn't handle it.

And Michael, you have way to much extra time on your hands. One sentence would have said it all.

Since I'm unemployed now The Institute's gone, I think I'd better shoplift one.

Seriously though is the book still in print? I've never seen it though have heard of it often enough.

All the Best

Michael said;
'Because dioramas can't extend to the horizon, and because although spectacular, building a whole Bessoneau hangar to put your little gem in front of takes too much time, time that could be spent...'

We have the pulse of the victim uh! oh I mean the patient. *Yes a Facade is a simulated background used in dioramas but also in photography of solitary pieces as well. A facade can be a building but it could also be a tree-line or a rock face of a cliff. *It is also the simulated ground that you may use to put your piece on. *A facade may be horizontal or vertical dimensionally speaking. The impaired portion of a facade (for our purposes) is the depth of field. *

Some crazy nut completed a diorama with 722 HO scale figures (circa1900) and did it for a single diorama. I could post a picture of it but it was done on a recent vacuform thread. *It took him eight years and way too much money to be practical. *While amusing and interesting ( heaven knows he put ironic events in it at every turn), it is doubtful that it will ever be much more than a curiosity to the passing museum goers. *Then again he did build it for his own amusment. *So are Full dioramas imprctical? *How much room do you have to model? *

Here's a home work assignment that you'll like: *Go to your completed build shelves and pick no less than two of your completed kits and set them on your building table. *(Yeah some of you will have to clear a lot of 'stuff' away to do this, but in the process you may find a 'missing part that didn't hit the black hole.) *With your two chosen kits and some paper write down all the possible 'dioramas for those two kits to appear together. *You won't be required to do anything to the completed kits, but what in your minds eye would you like to see as a scene. *List all the required fixtures for the scene from the ground up. *Then give us some of your ideas.

Additionally read pages 60-95 of the text *

* Thought I was gonna let you off easy huh?!

Pop Quiz:*Does a diorama need figures to be a diorama? *If so according to who? *If not, then according to who?

Warning the next installment of this class will contain information of an adult nature aimed directly at IPMS judges. *If your squimish you may want to leave the room. *All IPMS judges will be required to identify themselves and wear hunters orange. *Student hunting licenses for combination judges season will be sold in the student union blg. *Proceeds going to the field study of the 'Full Breasted Coed', Stephen T. Lawson Chairman and Field Team Leader.
