wow! thats fantastic Greg, the shopfronts look great while the streetlights give it depth and authenticity....hang on theres a cupla nice cars in there too!

 I'm having a go at dioramas too, with a bit of John Barry inspiration! Heres some simple beginnings:

Firstly a 50s French Post Office

d4

A local bike garage

d3

And this is my first "scratchbuilt" attempt. Bit rough, I didnt plan it properly. Big problem now is we cant get balsa wood for the bases here in Melbourne, and while I've been gathering materials and scale items I'm in limbo till more balsa arrives.

Love the dioramas Greg and Geoff. IMO they make the models come alive.
