Anatomy of a Diorama

Hi All,

Those of us who build dioramas strive for as much accuracy as possible. To do this on the diorama I built I had to do a lot of channel surfing and collecting a lot of photos along with digging out the few photos I had. In my surfing I was able to make some contacts of those who had some information on the subject I was building. Following is what I used to create my diorama.

This is a drawing from Chance Vought Aircraft that I used to build the missile.


Scratch building the launcher was the most challenging item and this is one of the photos that helped me do it. The location is Kuai, Hawaii where the Regulus program ended.


The next four photos are also from Hawaii and helped with the launcher and the fuel bowser.






As I have posted before this is the final product but the site is Virginia.


It is no wonder it took nine months to complete this project. Thanks to all of those that made this diorama possible

Richard
