Just flew in to say "Hi" and introduce myself.
Started my first model (a diorama) a year ago and still doing it. It has been a fabulous journey. Learning lots of stuff about modelling, and even the term "scratch building", which my current project is. The diorama is a 1/72 scale working lift-span bridge with a boat traversing under it. The display table is 4 x 8 feet.
I am a volunteer working at Ballina Naval & Maritime Museum (NSW, Australia). The diorama is the museum's first interactive display - a new innovation for the museum. I plan to download photographs of the Work In Progress in the Diorama sub-forum. Hoping to download daily updates until they catch up to where I am with the project. Then the updates will occur less frequently.
