I have finally reached the point with this diorama where adding even one more thing to it would probably be a mistake. Ya gotta know when enough is enough.Not that I don't have anything more that I could add but if I did it would just look cluttered.I have some left over figures,engines,lots of junk yard stuff,even a Wright brothers 1/16th scale engine.I am not planning anymore 1/16th stuff right now but of course that could always change down the road,so I will store it all for now.
Next up will be the G scale "Once Upon a Time In The West"RR piece to finish,then the peregrine falcon sculpture to finish as well and then I will begin "Wild Bills " 1/10th scale old west stage coach.

I have researched the history of the term "Storyboard Diorama."The first mention of it was in Ken Hamilton's book "How to Build Creative Dioramas."in 2001.I picked up on the idea from him but added the Disney idea of telling the picture story in a certain sequence.It is a good feeling to have added something new to our hobby. Museums are especially interested now as it fits right into their new role of viewer interaction.My hope is that other modelers will pick up on this especially those who are interested in having their works having a chance to survive beyond their own lifetimes to be enjoyed by future generations.
I plan to write an online book someday about all of this.
