Here's my latest diorama.













Here's pictures of the entire build: http://public.fotki.com/daveinthehat/davetown/pattis-tea-garden/

I made a slideshow too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPjAyb1M-RY

Hello Dave!

That sure is a sharp looking dio! Do I remember it right that Davetown is in 1/87?

If I may suggest something, I'd add some more sag in the wires, right now they are tight like guitar strings!

Congratulations on a beautiful model - keep 'em babies comin' and have a nice day

Paweł

All comments and critique welcomed. Thanks for your honest opinions!

Thanks Paweł. Yes it is 1:87 scale. I use elastic thread for the wires. If they get bumped it wont rip the poles out. In a couple weeks they'll start to sag,

Very cool! Again I love the extra little touches you put in there.

Beautifully done, Dave!  The house looks great, it looks like a lot of houses in small towns here in my neck of the woods (Southeast PA).  Well done!

Sweet little diorama, although I think the wires are a bit overscale.

It's something different than the usual war dioramas. What time period is it suggesting?

Thanks. I don't build my models in any specific time period. The Fiat is a 2012, so I guess the time period could be right now.
